Old Friend (Free verse) by Dovina
-for Bob and Baby Dumpling-
Then a happy healthy pet
it seemed you'd won our friendly bet
cough and wheeze
congestive heart disease
at your dying
keep on trying
Seven to one
my years to yours
legs that run
while yours refuse.
I know what you cannot
pick you up
tread the stairs
pat your head
and say good night
Sleep well, my friend
what you cannot know
is better unknown
