bird cat dog ...

to be the bird
up in the tree
would be the thing
to set me free
of daily doings
of this and that
but left to me
would be the cat

to be the cat
up in the tree
would be the thing
to set me free
of work and toil
that clouds and fogs
but left to me
would be the dog

to be the dog
up in the tree
would be the thing
will you agree
i least want most
to bring the end
on this fine day
to man's best friend

you are on a simple roll here...I used to talk to my dog all the time, I told him one day, "in our next life, I GET TO BE THE DOG."
lol--and thank you for the much needed smiles today..

MAMiller~
This is a delightful piece.
I can just see it flowing with ease
to the page of play.

Cool !

Simple, yes, and quite clever. I enjoyed this one.
