Hayley just eats when she’s hungry.
She says that she’ll wait for a while.
I’m always ready for a treat or a snack
And either one makes me smile.
When I was a pup
There were bad folks around
And I learned right away
I should eat what I found
But Hayley has never
met anyone mean
And she doesn’t believe
When I say what I’ve seen.
She just knows she can wait
And there’ll be plenty more
At most a small woof
And her bowl’s on the floor
She knows I am different
But doesn’t insist;
That’s my sister:
incurable dog-optimist.
