Less Being Alone
Dogs spend so much time lounging around the house
Humans often feel they have the raw deal
But in a dog’s mind they feel like the louse.
They are pack creatures and love to have others about.
Being at home may be something they really enjoy
But it is certain when it comes to their pack they don’t like being without.
Why do you think they are so excited to see you at day’s end
Dancing and barking when you walk through the door,
That joy is not something they can pretend.
So for the New Year the one thing high on their list
Is having a way to keep you home more
As they have for so long wished.
Whatever it takes that is what they must do.
If that means having more accidents then you best beware
Because in the end it’s all about you.
With any luck this attempt will come in a different form,
Maybe cuddling you more when you are there
As if to say they need you even without a storm.
Or perhaps they will hound you less when you are busy
Or they could always try keeping calm when the mail comes to the door
Instead of letting a stranger send them into a tizzy.
Whatever it is, this kind of resolution can be achieved by different means
Both positive and negative angles for them to work
Or perhaps some are so clever they’ll think of something in between.
