Doggone blue

I’m so lonesome, ever since, you went away

Every morning, I look out, the skies are grey

There’s no sunshine, here to warm me, and

I’m chilled right to the bone

I don’t know if, I can stay here on my own
 

This old house is, just one big, empty space

I’m so restless, and I feel, so out of place

There’s no loving, when I wake up, from

A long and sleepless night

It’s so peaceful, and lord that just aint right
 

Think I’ll go out, and find me, a new best friend

Maybe this one, will stay, to the very end

We’ll go walking , every morning, and

At night we’ll cuddle up

So tomorrow, gonna buy me a pup

feeling the determination in doggon blue

What better for an empty house. I would not advise a high strung pup as it may potentially be unwanted imo:) stopping by to say hello Mark "some things change, some things do not"
