The Dog’s the One for Me
I’ve had my fill of human love,
It seems it’s not my style.
The flirting, fights, and fickle hearts,
Make it hard to ever smile.
They say that love is patient,
But humans test the line.
With insults sharp and games to play,
They waste my precious time.
But a dog, oh what a treasure,
A loyal friend indeed.
They wag their tails in pure delight,
With every loving deed.
No drama, lies, or cheating,
Just joy in simple things.
Like a scratch behind the ears,
Or the joy a mealtime brings.
A dog will never ghost you,
Or talk behind your back.
They’re always there to comfort you,
When life gets off the track.
So maybe I’m meant to be alone,
But not in a lonely way.
With a furry friend beside me,
I’ll enjoy each and every day.
No more relationship drama,
No partner to deceive.
Just a faithful dog to greet me,
Every time I leave.
So here’s to simpler living,
And to peace in every way.
A place, a dog, and solitude,
Is where I’ll find my play.
