Family - Benji The Dog Poem by Paul Warren

Our Moodle sits and looks at the television
Waiting to bark at dogs on the screen in his vision
He is white and walks around looking out the front door
And barking at others to get their attention even more

But he is king of what he can see
And walks around in the space which is his territory
He plays with his toys and throws them about
Sometimes making so much noise that we have to shout

He has a liking for sliced ham for lunch
Eating it in one gulp without much of a munch
He sleeps on the bed and makes himself at home
Once he knows you he becomes your friend full blown

He loves to ride in the car and to hang out of the window space
To see what can be seen in his overall scan of the outside place
Determined to know about who visits his territory
Barking and showing his teeth is Benji's story.
