Dog by Lauren de Vore Dark chocolate eyes gaze up adoringly, So full of trust they are, so full of love. No dog can love so unconditionally As the Lab who stinks to heaven above. What did you roll in, I cry in dismay, What did you eat that your breath is so foul? It’s nasty, it’s rank, it’s just not ok, I say as I reach for hose, soap and towel. You’re a girl dog, a lady, gentle n’sweet. No rolling in compost, mud or manure, No horse poop or gross stuff are you to eat. I’ve told you and told you, you with the cur! A yellow tail waves back and forth, dark eyes Gaze up at me in silent dialog. Unfazed by scolding, she just pants and sighs, What’s with this lady nonsense? I’m a dog!
