Dusty - ON WRITING AND RUNNING

This is an ode to Dusty
A member of the family
A black lab, a tail, some drool, a smile
She spent her life so happily
Despite some errant poop and pee
She made friends to all who met her
She loved to play and romp and jump
And for that we're all the better
So now the room is quiet
Her jangling collar's still
We miss her bark and carefree way
In fact, we always will
This is an ode to the Dusty's
Who make us more humane
This is an ode to the Dusty's
Who make our world more sane
They bring us love and joy
And give us peace of mind
We need to treat each other
To make the best of human kind
