Stuck In The Doghouse

If I had a tail, I'd wag it. I get such delight when you rub my head. I'm always happy to see you. The day is such a drag when your at work. Nobody to talk to, nobody to play with. I miss you so much when your away. Watching you wave goodbye getting into the car. Soon as it occurs that your gone I stand with attentive ears waiting for your return. The doldrums of watery eyes, Suddenly I am sad- Where are you going. Will you be back soon. Don't leave me here by my lonesome. You know I have a short attention span. I walk around in circles. I bark without answer- crying to you. I fall asleep hoping to wake to you being there. The birds keep me company but soon they get bothersome. Very very bothersome, I hope you don't see me the way I see them. They drink my water, they stand in front of me taunting me. Sometimes I see them laughing at me. As they are free to come and go as they please. While I'm sitting here unable to leave. I promise I wouldn't go far, I'd only leave the yard to attempt to find you. Sometimes I wonder, If I had wings. Could I find you as easily as they find me, instead of sitting here Still, the thought never lasts long, as I wouldn't risk anything for the way you rub my belly. I guess I'll go back to sleep and wait for you to return. With my doggie dreams of you. I can't wait to see your car, because I am guaranteed to greet you with the biggest smile I possibly can
