The Day My Dog Took Off to Space

The Day My Dog Took Off to Space.

The day my dog took off to space,

She didn't once look back,

Her floppy ears flapped in the wind,

Her coat was gleaming black.

I couldn't tell the look she had,

On her fourteen year old face,

But her legs kept kicking on and on,

Like she was competing in a race.

I looked at her up in the sky,

A black dot to me now,

The tennis ball inside her mouth,

Dragged her up to space somehow.

I can't help think that that day was,

My dog's last day alive,

The day when we hopped in my car,

And went off for a drive.

She'd dragged her bum on my new rug,

Peed on the kitchen floor,

Despite these things, I'll always miss,

My dog being here no more.

She was happy just going for walks,

Once a day she was so glad,

But that one day she took off to space,

She achieved more than I ever had.

My Dog Is On Heroin; A Poem

You may call it heroine,
Or dust or horse or junk,
But truth be told i just don't care,
Something's got me in a funk.

My dog's often euphoric,
Gets drowsy, sleeps a lot,
He throws up on occasions,
He's panting quite a lot.

I googled all these symptoms,
Crossed my fingers and i hoped,
But all my fears were realised,
My dog must be on dope.

How did all this just happen,
Was i not a caring master,
Maybe our walks were just too slow,
And he needed something faster.

No matter where he got his stash,
I guess he had his ways,
I'll stand by and I'll support my dog,
Through the next twenty eight days.
