A Life With Words

Weekend dogs are different dogs,
As the bacon odds are high.
Man's feet are slippered, soft, and still,
With their little people nigh.

Weekend dogs are wriggly dogs,
A cadence to their bark.
Suspension of the dreary week,
They bound, joyful, round the park.

Weekend dogs are helpful dogs,
Always keen to lend a paw.
They schloop the windows, sniff the drains,
Lick cold gravy off the floor.

Weekend dogs are snoozy dogs,
Heads resting 'neath the chair.
A Sunday feast, full belly growls,
And gas abroad the air!
