Ode to My Dog

Eden J

Ode
My good canine friend, a good bit stupider than I
Sits on the floor, nips at her thigh
She does not know the comfort she brings me, how I adore her
Ignorant little dog, I'd do anything for her

She knows none of my problems, yet helps me through them all
She's loyal to me, heart bigger than she is tall
I admire her lack of care, how beautiful she is with her dark coat
I admire her sense of pride, without any need to gloat
