Benny
My little pooch Benjamin,
Fluffy as my feather pillow
A blotchy black and white coat like a Holstein cow
With a small black rubber nose
He gallops and squeals when seeing me
His little legs move fast like lightning
Diving into his favorite teddy he skids across the floor
He looks into my eyes with his chocolate eyes
Then he smiles at me with gritty teeth
Ending the day, he kneads his blankets into a bed
I watch his soft eyelids flutter as he dreams
With his velvet tongue he licks his lips
Fantasizing about meaty dog bones
Imagining poofy white poodles
Pondering the scratchy green play balls
Dreaming of chasing old stray cats
Craving our long walks in busy parks
Sleeping with him by my side,
Ben comforts me through my worst dreams
Gazing at his angelic sleepy face
I close my eyes to fall asleep once more
