A pet is the rubbing at your knees
A floating hair that makes you sneeze.
Licking tongue, liquid eyes .....
'say'..... pleeeease ?
‘Mistakes’ and surprises and ...
sometimes fleas .
A clawed up chair, a gnawed on shoe
A chewed up sweater, litter box..
.. Oh pee yew!
A lump of fur invades the bed,
A purring thing beside your head.
Constantly wanting out or in
Woofing or mewing-a raucous din
Pleading and whining for a walk
or,
Patiently waiting a bird to stalk
“Not that again” she seems to say
Though gobbled down the other day.
What a job that dreaded bathing
and,
then he rolls in something rotting
Hair balls gagged on carpet floors
Scent glands used on exit doors
But then........
Years by 7’s pass so quickly
Beloved pets become old and sickly
Sad consultation with the ‘Vet’
Consider though the suffering pet
........Ah geeze..... the ache, tears flood the eyes
......Alas our heart breaks...
..........and In part too .....dies.

| This was great. At first it seriously made me want to sneeze becuase I'm allergic to cats, but I have lost a beloved dog and know the pain. Great write! |

This is a wonderful commemoration of the love, so much love we give and share with our beloved companions.
I like this though cats & dogs make me scratch & sneeze a bit. For me It is easier to praise the page then get face licked..
I love the idea of creating poems which totally beats dressing our pets like 'charlie chaplin' et al. as a former neighbor used to.
I also really enjoyed the lyrical title.
Peace
