Hand and Glove, a poem I wrote hope it's ok

Hand and Glove

Every morning just as I do wake
At the end of my bed I feel a gentle shake
I dare not raise my eyes for I know what's soon to come
Fur tongue and slobber, come to wake his dad and mum

So finally I roll over and with a single leap
Comes the wrecking ball of lovin that woke me from my sleep
You don't want me for money or a fancy car
For in you eye's I know I'm a bloody star

We rumble for a while and mum gets out of bed
You jump'n thrash and wrestle while smoosh you big fat head
Yeah mum's made some brecky , so bugger poor old dad
Play can wait for later there's bacon to be had

Guts have attended it's time for a walk
You're a smart little bugger I wish that you could talk
Down the road we go, at a fair old clip
Yard mad ankle biters , though fences give you lip

Return near exhausted, felling buggered from the day
Bugger me you've got the ball, you want more fun and play
I throw the ball for hours, tug and play fight
You won't let that pull thing go and pull with all your might.

You give yourself so freely your friendship, joy and love
No matter what I do you fit like hand and glove
Your breeding makes Stafford an that may seal your fate
That matter naught to me because you're my bloody mate.

Ken

Hope it doesn't suck.

That's the type of reaction I was going for, so that anyone who's had this wonderful breed/force of nature in their lives would be able to relate to it in some way.

I liken friendship to foot prints/markers/imprints left upon us by those we've been close to, and if that's how it really is then the Staffords I've been lucky enough to spend my life with have left marks I'll bare till the day I die.

And I wouldn't have it any other way.
