Taking my dog to the canal
Its tea coloured peace
Resting behind the town
He noses in nettles
Relieves himself on bluebells
As I eye the bridge's span

Towards its apex
Crushed beneath the roadway
A sapling reaches out
I look closer
Its lignified limb squashed flat
Emerging arthritic
Unfurling green fingers
In a  hopeful
Reaching last

I comprehend the wall
Council funded murals
Darter dragonfly, pipistrelle bat
King fisher, KING fisher!
Are washed over stone
Pale compensation
For nature entombed

There was a black and white dog who wore a Mickey Mouse symbol on her back
Had pointy ears and a buttoned nose
Always down to cuddle, lazy days are her favorite in fact.
She is the size of a football
But has confidence the size of a Great Dane
Whom she will try to attack, if he gets to close to our lawn.
I don’t think she realizes that she’s the perfect size for a mid-day snack.
Protecting our house is her priority
Even though she won’t win an attack.

Dog dog dog dog dog.
Dog dog dog dog dog dog dog.
Dog dog dog dog dog.

******* Dog,

You do not

think about the future


Only what's directly in your view


******* Dog,

I really envy your free spirit


And I wish I could

think that way too


Cause lately I've had so much ****

holdin' me down


And though I sometimes hear you whine

You never frown


I've got so many worries now

they're all around


Livin' in this wicked devil town


But

******* dog,

you don't worry at all


******* dog,

you'd rather chase a ball


******* dog,

you make me smile


Big friendly dog,

you aren't hostile


******* dog,

You don't condescend


******* dog,

You're my best friend


******* dog,

You run so fast


******* dog,

You never feel harassed


******* dog,

You never fail


******* dog,

You always wag your tail


******* dog,

So happy and free


******* dog,

******' on a tree


******* dog,

Don't run away


******* dog,

let's have a field day


******* dog,

I'll throw a stick


You can bring it back

It's how you get your kicks



The ******* dog



My ******* dog

Oh, to be a dog!
I wouldn't have to pretend I'm not excited to see you.
I could be as needy as I wanted,
because even though it gets annoying, people always give in to a dog.

I wouldn't have to worry about what anyone thought.
I could love you to my heart's content and be happy with my life.

Molly freckles
with a heart shaped patch
in the middle of her coat
of pleasure....
What could she be thinking
inside all that love?
