It’s not bad being a dog, this time around, <br />As long as I live in a happy home and not in the pound. <br /> <br />Being born again was just my luck, <br />But a dogsbody is better than an elephant, a donkey, or a woodchuck! <br /> <br />I’m lucky that I look really cute as a pup, <br />And belong to a breed that looks good even when grown up. <br /> <br />I’m an even-tempered breed and never get angry, <br />I don’t yap or slobber, nor look always hungry. <br /> <br />I have a pleasant fur, a marvelous coat, <br />I look like a dog, not a mouse nor a goat. <br /> <br />To come back next time as a human would be very mundane, <br />I’d much rather come back to the world as this dog again.<br /><br />Alan Bruce Thompson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-dog-s-life-8/
