37. If I Could Talk to Animals

If I could talk to animals, I’d converse with my dog

I’d ask him about his day, and if he’d like to go for a jog

I’d ask him if he likes the house, the yard, his bed and food

I’d ask him if he’s bored at home and what things he likes to do

I’d tell him that I love him even when he’s bad

even when he poops on mother’s rug, I cannot stay mad

I’d tell him he’s a real good boy, the best one in the world

I’d teach him how to fix his hair and how to talk to girls

I’d ask him what he thinks of me and if he thinks I treat him well

and if he likes my parents, friends and girl if he will tell

I’d question if he think it’s weird, when I pick him up and spin

I’d want to know if he recalls, his mom, his dad and kin

and if he likes the life he lives and world that he’s been in

But I can’t talk to animals, and so I can’t talk to him

So I just feed and pet and walk and give his hair a trim
