Everybody Loved Buddy

My dog died, my lovely boy,

nearly 12 years old,

people say that is a good innings.

I could have had another 12, easily.


Walking in the street, like I’d be walking with him.

I see friends and neighbours come into view,

they ask where he is, just innocently.

And then I find myself comforting them.
