People say Dogs are our Children
Let’s explore that notion
We live in the TIME
of the rainbow
Where if you feel IT,
Or think IT
Makes IT SO!
Let’s see what we know!
Both Children and Dogs need you
when they are very small
Dogs don’t wear diapers
Children are not taught how to crawl
By the time children learn to dress
Both Children and Dogs need you less
Children talk incessantly
but don’t always listen
Dogs listen as long as you need
Go for a walk,
the Dog chooses the speed
A Dog will lick your tears
A Dog can sense your fears
Dogs don’t say a word
But their feelings are still heard
When Dogs growl and bark
Their emotions quickly turn dark
Dogs tell you where they stand
Don’t listen, they can bite your hand
Children don’t bite you
Their words do
Both cut just as deep
Into your memory,
these events seep
People aren’t allergic
to their children
If Dogs were our Children ,
When meeting other People
First
they sniff each other’s butts
Friend or foe
That’s all they need to know
People use toilets
Dogs use the floor
There’s an exception
to every rule;
Yes, dogs too
can go to school
Children won’t eat
things they don’t like
Dogs eat everything,
Than throws it up
late at night
Children come
when asked
Dogs run wild
in soft green grass
Dogs have Fur
From head to tail
Children’s unruly hair
can seem like hell
Children don’t get fleas
They get Head lice
from daycare schools
That do as they please
From clueless busy parents,
Who don’t think twice
Bringing their infected
children to school
Against the Golden rule
Every household,
With a head full of lice
Will tell you
the nightmare
is not nice.
Dogs get stickers
in their feet
Children get
ouches and boo-boos
A cartoon Band-Aid treat
Children kiss you
with love and grace
Dogs will lick your face
While both Dogs and Children
cuddle all night long
They both fall asleep
with a nursery song
Both Dogs and Children
hog the covers and the bed
No matter how much
Pushing, pulling,
or pleading is said
It’s no longer your bed
In the morning, you wake
Move slowly for heaven’s sake
When children fall into a deep sleep
Waking them is like
Raising the dead
A dog’s foot and paw
pushing against your head.
Smile with loving contentment
as you slowly slip out of bed.
Children and Dogs need to be fed
Children have their own rooms
Dogs sleep everywhere
there is nothing worse than
Bad Dog Breath and slobber
A dog will alert you
when there’s a robber
Children leave home
when they’re grown
Dogs are loyal until
the day they die
Dogs do not cry
or tell Lies
Both Children and Dogs
will show emotion
in their eyes
Dogs don’t hold grudges
Or refuse to forgive
Dogs live and let live
Children can’t easily discern
between good and bad.
Children are trusting pray
Now that is SAD
Dogs know instantly
predator or prey
While Dogs and Children
have their merits
Not all People are Children People
However
Only some People are Dog People
