Best Friend
He has the basement all to himself
While I'm at work all day
Watches T.V. and lays around
Without a worry in his head
He eats and drinks when he wants
Takes naps in the afternoons
Jumps off the couch when I walk in
Because he knows I won't approve
He is so happy when I come home
And that's when he wants to play
Jumps for joy and kisses me
And won't let me walk away
He follows me like he's a child
Thinks I'm the best thing in the world
Will listen to every word I say
Then pretend it's never heard
This is my dog and he does not judge
And his love is not pretend
He is a true companion
And he's known as man's best friend
