My Crazy Dog Arthur

I speak to my crazy dog Arthur,
I stroke his warmth,
smooth fur through my fingers.

I tell him things I like to do like,
football, rugby and biking,

I tell him that I will always love him,
and always have my little boy’s back,

I tell him that life is not easy,
you can’t get everything in life
and never give up,

and I always tell him I want you, to never die
but he will at some point cause that’s the way of life.
