Hello, my owner, did you Forget
I haven’t had my supper yet.
I waited while you were away,
I know you went to work today.
You’ve been home an hour of two.
I had hoped I might play with you.
I barked but – you never came
To stroke me or say my name.
The sun was bright I could not hide,
My doghouse is not like yours inside.
My chain is short to take a few steps.
I know your mind doesn’t forgets.
My water pan, too empty
I ‘d like a cool drink just like you.
I sigh, I cry this will end
While I’m waiting for my friend….
