Dog
In the dog days of this
dogโs breakfast world,
you remain dogged
in your doggy ways;
face licker, arse sniffer,
purveyor of fetid breath,
oblivious to squalor,
fantastically lavish
with ย affection.
Incapable of guile or guilt,
your shamelessness
puts me to shame.
Each morning,
like every morning,
a whirl of wag and slobber;
you greet me
like the long lostโ
I am kibble in your paw.
Look up lunar howler,
Sirius shines for you,
take a bow wow wow.
