Good companions all, Friends to keep. They give love back, A love so deep. Don't be alone in the world today, A loving friend is only a dog away. Never go home to an empty house, Your friend is there without a grouse. A wagging tail, a welcome bark, All for the price of a walk in the park. They ask for only a meal and drink, We all exercise and stay in the pink. © Dave Timperley July 2014.
