Dog Gone

I pick up my dog from the kerb

he has lost his leg

i do so miss his cuddles and nuzzles in my face

but he is but now a tripod in my square

oh little round hound i miss your love

there is no more but to wish you around

and your breathing slurping sound of a happy innocent life

that reminds me of my original sin

to be morbid and humane for you are not my dog

but i am yours as you are my god

if i pick up your wrong end and think your bum is your snout

forgive me as a stupid human who is but a clout

but you are a cuddly god for a savaged soul

and i will be dead but were it not for your heart.
