Tru Blu

I'm back after a long hiatus and I fell in love again in the US. Yes,yes, it happens to the best of us! But  do not judge me! Read on.....

TRU BLU

Dear Blu, our little love affair was all too brief,

But I know you will not wallow in needless grief,

Because you live your life from one meal to the next,

And will not bother to write, call, email or text!

When I looked into those deep pools, your soulful eyes,

I saw a world of honesty, there were no lies,

You had plenty to give and just a juicy treat to take,

As you lay on your blanket, serene as a mountain lake!

You wheedled your way into an old man’s heart,

Not knowing that we would soon have to sorrowfully part ,

When the titbits under the table caught the young one’s eye,

She firmly ordered you out, denying you, your piece of the pie!

You were my summer love in the winter years,

Again you will not bother to shed copious tears,

Be warned! Do not lick the mistress’ greasy spoon,

Or they will dismiss you as just another greedy coon!

Then that horrid cat scared you out of your wits,

The world rolled on the grass, thrilled to nasty bits,

But I knew you would rise above your unalloyed fears,

Turn around and be the first among your peers!

And opportunity arose in the shape of the charity van

You charged and barked and growled at the charity man

To protect Neighbour Annie you were duty bound

You proved to the world that you were not just another hound!
