I Wished

I wished that she was more like a dog Instead of being more like a cat, Where she's constantly sleeping like a log And just getting fat. I wish that she wouldn't be so lazy, Which is ultimately driving me crazy. I wished like a dog she was faithful And that she would always wait for me, Instead of being unfaithful And like a cat running up a neighbors tree. I wished like a dog for me should wait, At our door or at our gate. I wished like a dog she was loyal And happy to see me when I got home, Greeting me as though I was royal And not like a cat always to different houses to roam. I wished she was more like that, I wished she had the attributes of a dog and not a cat. Randy L. McClave
