They say he’s a mongrel
a lower class
not to the standard of the pedigrees
But this cur has much more to offer
than those pedigree chums in the kennels
look at that swagger – look at the smile
loyalty to his owner that sticks out a mile
And while pedigrees are pampered
he’s wagging his tail – in garden wi a stick
chasing down chew toys
compared to pedigrees – he’s quick!

Another day goes by
Another crease forms on the face
A new laughter line joins by the eye
Age they say is a concept
You can be young – even after fifty,
Experts say (at the age of thirty)
I smile at that assertion
as i look at next doors pug – wrinkly and ruffled
Old age hasn’t bothered him – he still chases around the garden
Every memory can be triggered
Veils of happy tears and wonderful times at an
Occasion such as a cousins wedding
Kept safe in the head until
Engaged by a sight , sound or even a smell
