Battered Buddies
A Border Collie something
Now leashed and in the rain.
The Old Man’s constitutional
No pain. No gain.
He talked to her in low tones.
She seemed to take it in
The path rehearsed
The mile traversed.
They made like young.
Time and again.
If people passed approving.
The collie smiled, head raised.
And nodding quick, the Old Man
Let God be praised.
