Human?

sorenbarrett

Compassion in a shell of flesh

altruistic giving

longing for company of others with which to mesh

heart most forgiving

 

Loyalty beyond the color blue

curious as a hog

friendly as a dolphin crew

must be a dog

          This seems to me to be less a portrait of a dog than an oblique critique with respect to human frailty, Soren. True?

          • sorenbarrett

            How perceptive Dave. I thought that no one would see through the guise of presenting a critique through a compliment of another.
