Forever Whippet
By Darren M. Grine
I look forward to every day
Being with my master along the way
I知 a whippet and on top of the world
Dreaming of food and sofas soft and curled
While I expect the best without a care
It has to be select because I will not share
I have a body that痴 built for speed
I値l take off at pleasure when I feel the need
My ambitions are to run and tease
I live for the moment because I do as I please
I値l play outside adventurous and free
If I知 in the yard or park it痴 all about me
When we go for our long and exciting walk
While in route everyone wants to stop and talk
As we pause at the corner discount store
You stop to buy treats for me as I bark for more
While parading along the bustling traffic
I値l strut my stuff and show my whippet magic
Once at the park we値l play with my tennis ball
Like clockwork I値l bring it back every time you call
I値l ham it up and then run circles in the grass
Whether sprinting or leaping I知 never short of gas
Hours and hours of enjoyment pass us by
Many draw interest because I grab everyone痴 eye
I attract attention no matter where I go
Soon I値l start charging to view my whippet show
We have to go now because it痴 getting late
I知 hungry and I値l be upset if I miss my dinner date
No matter where I知 at I am always the boss
After a hearty meal I知 ready for more catch and toss
Traditionally I go on my household stroll
Tearing things apart and acting out of control
Since you don稚 approve I値l give you that tilted look
You continually give in and I知 consistently off the hook
By the end of the day I知 ready for my beauty rest
Your cozy bed waits for me since it痴 my favorite nest
As I lay down to sleep I nestle in your blanket
I can稚 wait for tomorrow as I am forever whippet
