new friend with no name

Today I had a barbecue

with four others

then sixth came uninvited

he sat amongst us

and watched

sometimes he stood and walked a little

someone always said sit down so he did

he never spoke

just an occasional mumble

so indistinct it didn’t mean anything

we tried to get a response

we tried names

everyone has a name

Bill, Bob, Chris, Rob, Jake,

no response

Jack, James, Scott, Tom, Merv

he still sat

Carling, Copenhagen, Beer,

well we were having a bbq!

We gave him a burger which he ate with delight

then he went

AAAAndy a voice called 

SO

our new friend
is a dog called ANDY.
