Love Like A Dog

A dog will lovingly lick your face While not caring about your race, And no matter what you might say or do A dog will always love you. It will proudly stay at your side And it will lay wherever you have lied, And it will walk with you wherever you might go Even through the rain, or the snow. A dog will never lie or cheat Even when new people it might meet, And it will always remain your very best friend Until the very end. It doesn't care what you watch on the telly As long as you rub its belly, And it's not worried about the clothes you wear Or the color of your hair. It will always come to your door Even if you are not rich, but very poor, And a dog is always unconditionally loyal Upon any kingdom or soil. And when you become sick, old or gray From you side your dog will not ever stray, And a dog will never seek another master Even after a terrible disaster. When a dog gets lonely it'll scratch it fleas Whereas many woman will just tease, They want to be always on a man's mind No matter how good they are treated or even how kind. A dog can tell if you're heaven sent But, not by a perfume, but only by a scent, And a dog doesn't like to be hurt or used And it too will growl and whimper if abused. A dog has been given such a terrible rap As I peacefully pet one with its head on my lap, And as I finish writing this somewhat epilogue Oh how I wish I knew a woman with the characteristics of a dog.
