You stare up at me As I type, type, type away With those big eyes of yours Pleading for cuddles And scratches And kisses galore But I can't I say I've got work to do You reach out a paw Mournfully whining I give in, tempting fate For your soft fur And wet licks across my palm I giggle As your tail wags At a hundred miles per second And leave my homework For your joyful personality Instead
For my dog, who captured my six year old heart at Christmas all those years ago and has been one of my best friends ever since :)
