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.
