Few little scraps of love
And you followed me home
Doggedly persist
Allow me to love you.
Do I want it, do I want you
I am not consulted.
Love and fresh air
For you to live on
And I give you only
Crumbs from my table
Demander of attention
Irritatingly persistent whiny
Chewer of my shoes
Tangler of my strings
Dirtier of my carpet
All forgotten
In your pure joy
When you greet me
Or unflinchingly try
To drive away
My melancholy
Warm little body
Hurtled happily
Bundle of unrequited love.
No prize show winner
No pedigree
Yet little dog
I love you
because you are mine.
