I knew my mood
would swing back again soon
there’s just no escape
from all this gloomy doom
what happens next
I don’t even want to know
one loss at a time
is how my luck goes
I’m content with my life
for the most part
but not when it comes
to matters of the heart
in this benign category
I fail to pass the grade
even with lemons
I can’t make lemon-aid
there must be something serious
that I’m really missing
or else why is it just my dog
that I’m always kissing
Hammer is faithful
he’s a good snuggler too
he’s even learned to dance
and sing me the blues
when he’s not sneaking outside
to carry off my shoes
but happy as he makes me
cheering me up when I’m sad
he refuses to cook
wash clothes
or even take a bath
so other than his charm
and all of his tricks
he’s just like some men
except that he licks
his own dick

What about these mood swings, huh???

Enjoyed Athena... I laughed out loud at the end of it...

I just wouldn't be without my 2 dogs...They keep me occupied, sane and downright happy...

Thanks Ainjel... I wasn't sure how this one would go over to those without dogs and might not relate... but I wouldn't trade my boy for anything... he reminds me everyday what my life is about... him... why it's worth living... to feed and love... him... who unconditionally loves me... him... if my stuff disappears, who took it... him... when I get out of bed, or get up from my chair, who gets in my spot... him... if I'm sad, even crying, who puts his face against mine, because he knows mommies suffering... him... yeah, I could go on and on about my boy... cuz I love... him... too... that's awesome to know you have two of your own... we'll have to swap "I can't believe they just did that" stories sometimes...
