My Dog



You are now gone after 15 long years
Now I cry and cry surrounded by my peers
If only there had been no truck
Then you wouldn’t have gotten struck
We raced you to the vet
I guess now we can get a new pet
Your passing has precluded you from the ability to grow
You mean so much to me I hope you know
