The Dog Rescued Me Poem by Phil Soar

I sat by the river, I started to quiver
For winter was just round the corner
And the oncoming cold, had made me feel old
And my bones had now started to shiver

It was almost as if, natures song was a riff
And the music it played left its mark
I was starting to freeze, when my dog bit my knees
And began quite an incessant bark

He was watching the signs, his intuitive design
Was aimed at just saving his master
He was not at his ease, as he watched me freeze
And he couldn't lick me any faster

So he rescued my life then ran home to the wife
And she rushed out to take me back home
I was warmed by the fire, and changed my attire
As the dog sat and chewed on his bone.
