​Playing with Volt
In the backyard
Watching him scamper
After his plastic bone
The way he gleefully pounces on it
Comes trotting back and
Plays keep away
His tail wags
You can see him smiling
Joy on four limbs
And a ridiculously long tail
And big floppy ears
(I’m so glad he never grew into them)
And it’s worth being out
In the cold night air
This ridiculous wonderful creature
Life is truly better
With a dog
