Calling you a dog it is little unfair. <br />Because you my friend <br />may have four legs and a tail, <br />long ears that drag on the floor <br />when you are on my trail, <br />may have droopy red eyes, <br />and a long snout, but <br />you are very smart <br />and you have large loving heart. <br />Together we are in a union. <br />We signed a decree; <br />You shall be my constant companion. <br />You shall never live my site. <br />If anyone approaches me <br />or our house, <br />you shall bite. <br />In return; <br />I'll feed you with chicken and steak, <br />scratch your tummy, <br />and take you for a long walks around the lake. <br />O no! <br />You are not a dog! <br />You have personality. <br />Even nationality. <br />In this country you are only a resident <br />but in your next life <br />you will be the first president.<br /><br />Milica Franchi De Luri<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dog-11/
