Feline's glowing orbs gaze solemnly,
gaze and gaze and gaze.
While Fido dances merrily, tail flying-a patriotic flag unfurled.
Teeth revealed and tongue flapping.
Great “whoofs” does he elucidate: “Can’t wait!”
“Can’t wait!”
Leaping up and down, paws tapping on the ground
“Please scratch my head!”
On his back, belly raised, he wriggles on the floor
“more—more--scratch some more!”
Feline rises slowly, gives a yawn, stretches
and nuzzles against you.
Perhaps her face she raises in supplication
a soft “meow” “You can pet me now.”
No beggar she – Her life is harmony.
