Two Buddies Hobbling.

Douglas Blair 1951 (London)

Rhymed
Rainy day Morning
Mechanized chair
Doggy alongside
True friends they were there.
Spry constitutional
Only one leg
Man or his Best Friend.
Each had the same.
Skipping the three legged
Urging the Man.
All was exceptional
Exercise plan.
Minding not weather
Or grim looks received.
This was a friendship.
Most hurting relieved.

(This was impromptu writing while driving with  some errands. Saw man and dog in drizzle. Pulled into a parking lot. Wrote the piece happily and as moved in the moment.)
