Love Poem: Dog Lover

Dog Lover

People say we 
seem compatible mates,
that’s moronic !...
she HATES DOGS !! 
which
 is pretty ironic
being she’s such a 
constant bitcher,
and that label,
that descriptor,
insofar as it is able,
shows how a
lack of compatibility,
however hard it might be,
is fair for her. 
Au contraire
the canine,
whose character
I would define
and describe
as being
“Loyalty personified”
I prefer.
You see,
DOGS CARE, 
life enriching
presences.
So I won’t be 
hitching up with her.
She thinks that
stroking her back
and doggystyle
I find delightful, 
but that’s
so uninsightful.
She’ll be 
catatonic 
knowing that 
real love for me is
dog platonic
