If I Could Only Have a Dog :: Wistful Thinking

If I could only have a dog
Not a frog on a log in a bog,

I would take walks three thousand times a day…
“Just to stay away,” you say?
Maybe, but more to just be sure
That my feet can still be demure.

If my knees don’t knock together
I’ll walk for miles and miles –
The best thing about the dog I wish I had
He just walks around, all smiles.

“He walks around and smiles,” you say?
“And doesn’t need to run?”
No, he’s a walking dog,
Because he finds it much more fun…

If I Could Only Have a Dog :: Drawing By Kent Gustavson :: November 7, 2005

I wish I had a dog,
But I don’t
Or, I wish I could walk the one
Of someone else I know.

But I don’t know anyone
In this place with a pup,
So I guess I’ll just walk alone
Maybe right after I sup.

Here’s to mutts and mongrels
Purebreds and setter spaniels
Cockapoos and even:
chartreuse little dogs named Daniel!
