DOG, SOLVED
It finally occurred to me
Why people love their dogs!
A dog is eye-contact on paws,
With no distracting slogs
Into the black hole also known
As, “Social Media,”
Which sucks up eyeballs through the likes
Of Wikipedia
And countless other websites all
Competing for our time–
The Facebooks and the Twitters
And the You Tubes–all sublime,
And, frankly, all compelling when
We need to feel unique,
And worthy of attention when
We’re feeling incomplete!
I’ve never known a dog who needs
A password or a shove
To make his eyes peer into mine
With pure and simple love!
