Today we went to the animal shelter
because we’re all agreed
we’d like a puppy.
We’ve promised
we’ll walk him
and talk to him,
brush him
and we’ll love him oh so much.
We went past the kennels
to the puppy pens
and all the dogs begged us
to walk them
and talk to them,
play every day with them,
brush them
and love them oh so much.
And in the very last kennel
was a little terrier.
She didn’t wag her tail
nor bark, nor beg us to take her home
and walk her.
But talk to her
and stay with her
and love her oh so much.
She just sat there,
sad.
Then she came up to us.
And we all looked at each other.
We never got as far as the puppy pens.
We call her Lucky
and we love her oh so much.
