Are we ever the boss?

My dog?

I own this mutt…

But…

I don’t get to choose

If he’s up for a walk,

Or down for a snooze.

If it’s salmon or sole

In his finicky bowl,

Or a lamb bone to crunch

For his majesty’s lunch.

Nor do I have the right

To decide every night

If he sleeps on my bed,

Or outside in the shed.

And I don’t have a clue

What he’s going to do

When I throw him a ball.

Will he come when I call?

 

So it’s true,

Must be true

That I do

Own this mutt.

But…

Let me see…

Is it me who owns Him?

Or him who owns me?
