The males of cichlid fish do build
Sand castles on lake bottoms so
Dreams of fine mates might be fulfilled,

I watch the clouds go drifting by,
Illuminated from the moon,

I am Friendly, a puppy who

You've been with me since I was born.
Without you I would surely die.
I welcome sensing you each morn.

While taking a walk late one night.
A pair of red eyes glared at me.
Indeed it was a fearsome sight,
