A Dog's Hunger

"What do i have to offer?"

yelled the dog with a snark.

"I can't cease my eating

or quiet my bark."

He spoke with true meaning,

straight from the heart.

A very worthy fella,

blunt from the start.

So I confided with his response

and patted his soft head,

pulled out a loaf from my pocket,

sharing the fresh bread.

He acknowledged with a smile

and began to eat some more,

but he was a hungry fella

and nearly devoured the floor.

So I wished him well

and he was on his way

then caught sight of a rodent

and went back to play.
