From My Point of View

I wouldn't be so irritated
As I am when I find you
Have opened the door and walked right in
If you would just shut it behind you.

A dog's life is really easy,
You needn't pay the monthly rent
Or worry about hight prices.
With small things you are content.

I'm always at your beck and call.
You want in then you want out.
You don't worry about escaping heat
And then wonder why I shout.

The first of April hasn't brought
The warmth of spring this year.
So we must both conserve a bit
Since fuel oil is so dear.

I know that all my fussing
Is falling on deaf ears,
But life for me is not as soft
As in your eyes it appears.

The sun is shining brightly
And the grass is greening too,
But Susy, I can't come out to play.
It's only thirty-two.  (Fahrenheit that is.)

Dear Joyce:  Dogs simply do not understand that we humans are not equipped with heavy fur coats! Cats are not much more understanding!  They do seem to treasure their comforts a little more however. Cute poem!

nicely done dear Joyce. the poor little dears will never understand the concept of money I'm afraid

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Dogs and children both have little perspective on life's realities. Joy to read

We're just jealous of them because life gets so complicated for us.  Thanks for reading my little bit of nonsense. Joyce
