Lotti   10 #1 Posted September 16, 2006 Ok, I've managed to buck up enough courage to post it here (It's already posted in pets) but please be kind to me, I don't like sharing my work as I'm very, very critical about it!  Do You Remember?   Do you remember when I had youth? The time I lost that baby tooth? I remember you put it in a wooden box And labelled it 'First Tooth of Fox' Why did my first collar go in? And yet that ham went in the bin??  Do you remember that first time That I understood I'd committed a crime You picked up the bread, the meat and cheese And told me that you were not pleased I realised then, that I was in trouble And you bent down to give me a cuddle I licked your face to apologise And you looked into my big brown eyes. You laughed, I smiled And we were reconciled.  Do you remember I would jump and bounce And all my energy, every ounce Was used to run and play and bark You'd tell me that I must not lark And I'd laugh and continue my unruly aim And make your pursuit into a game.  Do you remember when I fetched that ball? You yelled 'Good boy!!' and stood up tall Then we rolled around in the grass together And you said that we'd be friends forever.  Don't forget the promise you made I may be old now and you're afraid That one day I won't be around But you bring me joy as I lose my bound Sit with me and try to see What a dog perceives the world to be  I want to be with you to the very end My special person, my forever friend.  And when I'm gone remember this I'm in your heart living eternal bliss.

You should be proud of your work , it's very good no one in this group should feel it's a competition to write the best work it's not. Now you can post some more.

Lotti   10 #7 Posted September 16, 2006 Why Do I Love You?  Why Do I Love You?  You stole, you barked, you dug the floor You stole my food, then begged for more You pushed me as far as you thought I’d go And then pretended I never said ‘No’  You scratched the walls, and ate the door You stole my things and thought I never saw You chased bikes and joggers through the park And when I said ‘quiet’ you’d just bark.  You were so difficult, such a pain And they say dogs are easy to train But tell me one thing, I need to know  Why do I miss you so??  You were my friend, you loved me true And I don’t know where I am without you You would settle down with your head on my knee And for five minutes we’d live in harmony.
