A BOY'S POEM

I WANT TO BE A DOG

OF ALL THE CREATURES YOU CAN SEE

A DOG IS ALL I WANT TO BE;

I WOULD BE STRONG AND LIKE A KNIGHT

PROTECT FROM ANYTHING IN SIGHT

MY DEAREST HUMAN FAMILY.

IT CERTAINLY GOES WITHOUT SAYING

THAT I JOIN ALL THE CHILDREN’S PLAYING

AND LICK AND SNUGGLE UP AT NIGHT

TOGETHER, EVERYTHING IS RIGHT,

NEVER IN MY DOGHOUSE STAYING.

I WOULD BE KIND AND UNDERSTANDING

AND NEVER OVERLY DEMANDING,

MAKE SURE MY HUMANS STAY TOGETHER,

AS LOVING FAMILY, FOREVER,

WITH MY CARING NEVER-ENDING.
