WHEN OUT OF SORTS – a poem?

Published October 9, 2022 by Nan Mykel

WHEN  OUT  OF  SORTS

Anger gets boring
after a while,
like milk gets sour.
So, spend more time
with your pet.
If you don’t have
 one,  get one!
I want to write dog,
not pet, but that word
has been sullied into bum
and a bitch.
Don’t you believe it!  Some
of my best friends
were Trixie, Shorty, Boots,
Gracie and Cleopatra.**
They make eye contact,
have empathy, mirror your
mind,  are warm and wag their tail.
What more could you ask for?
**and Buttons and Sinbad
