POEM..let me tell u why

[sara979]

LET ME TELL YOU WHY....

YOU ASKED DEAR SIR I WANT THIS PUP,
ITS JUST A PUP ID BUY?
HE'S A ROTTIE I REPLIED,
LET ME TELL YOU WHY...

YOU SEE, SIX YEARS AGO I TOOK A DRIVE,
DOWN TO A COUNTRY PARK.
I SAW A DOG WITH SADDENED EYES,
AND A COAT THAT WAS QUIET DARK.

HIS HEAD WAS HUGE WITH ALMOND EYES,
HIS TAIL WAS JUST A STUMP,
HIS FEET WERE TANNED AND SO WAS HIS CHEST
AND A STAR WAS ON HIS RUMP.

AS I APPROACHED HIM HE SEEMED TO KNOW,
TO HIM I MEANT NO HARM,
FOR HIS STUMP DID TWITCH AND HIS HEAD WENT DOWN,
WHILE I POURED ON THE CHARM.

WHEN I GOT CLOSE, I FELT A SCAR
THAT RAN DOWN HIS SIDE,
THAT THIS GREAT DOG HAD BEEN ABUSED
WAS A FACT YOU COULD NOT HIDE.

I COAXED AND COOED AND COAXED SOME MORE,
'TIL I GOT HIM IN THE CAR.
I WAS GOING TO TAKE HIM HOME WITH ME,
FOR I DIDNT LIVE TOO FAR.

A ROTTWEILER, I LATER LEARNED,
WAS THE NAME I HEARD THEM SAY.
SIX YEARS OF LOVE HE SHARED WITH ME...
THEN GOD TOOK HIM AWAY

I'LL NOT FORGET THIS FRIEND OF MINE,
I FOUND SO LONG AGO.
MY HEART STILL BREAKS, THE TEARS STILL FLOW,
AND O' GOD I MISS HIM SO.

SO IF YOU LET ME BUY THIS PUP,
MY WORD I GIVE TO YOU,
A BETTER FRIEND HE'LL NEVER KNOW
AND AN EMPTY HEART WILL BE ANEW.
