You Are Just A Dog

You can not just... Up and leave. As if relieved to be unleashed. Or make believe, A walking away... Prevents you to hear, Words I speak to you go unheard. I bet if I yelled, 'Dinner! '... I'd see your eyes upon me appear. And prancing as if prepared to be served. You spoiled ME? Is that what your eyes say? Sit! And be leashed. Excuse me? I wish somebody would... Feed me when I wanted. Walked me when I wanted. Scooped up my poop, And rubbed my tummy and back. Played with me and bought me toys! And patiently fed to me snacks! As I walked as if annoyed... To be awakened from a much needed nap! As it the tracking down of squirrels... Overtaxed. MAX! You are just a dog. That's all. I am 'your' master. You are not mine. Although sometimes I wonder. Go ahead... Bark. I just brought you inside, From running in the park. It is getting dark. And you are in this house to stay. I could care less how your roll your eyes. Or from me walk away. What did you say? If I were you, I'd keep those opinions to yourself.
