Ode To My Master

You give me a place to stay in your home

You let me use your yard to dig for treasure 

You share your cramped grey couch with me when we’re alone

You feed me small pellets of food in a bowl shaped like a bone 

 

I protect you through the perilous jungle you call a city with hairless gorillas, 

I travel with you through the mini dessert you call a beach,

You accompany me through the dog park to meet other pugs

You walk me through the dizzying forest of skyscrapers with rats that look like cats.

 

I protect you against the loud bombs on wheels 

You save me against the constant explosions on the Fourth of July 

I let you rub my belly when you breathe in a panicky tone

You comfort me during my yearly shots at the vet

 

You are my first and last thought each day 

You are my world

You are my everything 

You are my master
