Wag Your Tail Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Come here,
Gimme kiss.
Gimme hug too.
Why you treatin' me like this?
After the day I've gone through.

Alright,
You wanna tease?
Okay I will play.
Even though I'll work up a sweat.
And fall right to sleep.
You know me?

Come here,
Gimme kiss.
Gimme hug too.
Why you treatin' me like this?
After the day I've gone through.


Okay, go 'head.
Wag your tail and turn your back on me.
I was gonna heat up last night's steak...
And feed it to you.
Now you'll get a can of that stuff you don't like.
And it will stay right there until you eat.
