A Dog's POV

Humans,
An odd creature
no other species will get
I love them so,
they are my masters,
yet they can be walking
disasters

Humans,
tell me I bark and bark
yet they talk with all their hearts                                                                
all day long, on the phone                                                                         
when I'm trying to eat                                           
my chewy bone

Humans,
are such hypocrites
they tease me with MY toys
then they throw such a fit,
when I get THEIR belongings

Humans,
are so forgetful,
of the things we cannot do,
they hold up two shirts,
asks red or blue,
but I'm color blind,
I have no clue

Humans,
say
(for the best of me)
I am allowed
no more treats
but when they're on diets,
they just cheat
candy after candy,
repeat it and repeat

Humans,
so bare with no fur,
have odd things they call
"fashion"
they seem to forget,
from head to paw I'm covered
and squeezes me
into a matching set

Humans,
get quite upset,
when they find the floor
all wet
they have bathrooms
we have the outdoors
which do you think
we prefer?

Humans,
think that getting soap
in your eyes and mouth,
is very very fun
soaked from head to tail,
don't blame me,
if I run before its done

Humans,
are oh so clumsy
on stairs and across the room,
falling like Humpty Dumpty
into chairs when they vacuum
always tripping over their feet,
and they want me to complete
an obstacle course that's elite

Humans,
may have their faults,
but they care for me,
they give me lots of belly rubs
and in return I lick with glee
they're not so bad, in the end
after all, they're my best friend
