I gazed into those deep brown eyes, <br />And was immediately mesmerised. <br />A two-month-old puppy just for me alone, <br />I knew that I must groom him and give him a home <br />As he grew I taught him some tricks, <br />I was the one that got the most kicks. <br />I would get him to lie down and die for the Queen, <br />That is a trick that most people have not seen. <br />Every day we went for long walks, <br />He listened carefully to all of my long-winded talks. <br />Sleeping by the side of my bed, <br />On his two front paws his wonderful head. <br />A wagging tail told me that he was at ease, <br />Just a wonderful dog that did me please. <br />Food was no problem he ate what I gave, <br />At the edge of my plate titbits I did save <br />When my meal was finished I placed them in his nap, <br />He gobbled them down as if to say there’s a good chap. <br />We were together for many a long year. <br />To me he was someone very dear. <br />If you get the chance to look into a Puppy’s eyes, <br />I just know that you are in for a surprise. <br />It might be that you too will have found a true friend, <br />Some one to help you your time to spend.<br /><br />Bernard Shaw<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/puppy-dog/
