My Wonder dog, ode to Richard

My Wonder dog, ode to Richard While out, I saw my Wonder dog today, wishing he could come over and play.Wearing his tuxedo of white and black, his keen canine intelligence a mere fact. His owner offering me the knowing nod, knows I think him to be as a foolish clod.Worth less then his lies and stupid games, he lacks the common sense to heed or refrain. Mouthing unmeant sentiments of gratitude, while digging for something from me or you.Keiko, unknowingly loyal to the Joker of Robe, left with no choice of where to go, or who to know. A Bull Terrior of such regal distinction and breed left to play alone amongst the dandelion weeds.If there was a choice that could be fairly made, I would be the one who felt blessed and saved. Julie D.D. 5/6/2009 Richard once told me to write a poem about my "Wonder dog" I told him of, so I finally found the words for the topic. Keiko is a Bull Terrior owned by my neighbors cousin, living in a tarped mobile home in their driveway. Smartest damn dog I ever met. I have 4 of my own I love and adore, but none could compare to the calm and common sense of Keiko, who in my opinion deserves better than what he has, but asks for nothing and is happy with all. Inspiring in a sense. And a Damn awesome dog.
