181. life’s a bitch
I swear
that dog has shit on my favourite chair
for the last time
OK – so it’s leather
my La-Z-Boy –
and scrubs up a treat
but that’s not the point
she should have learned by now
after all the beatings
and nights spent
out in the freezing cold
but one look from those
pitiful eyes
and my heart just melts
and besides says mum
you should really stop
calling her a dog
you’re getting married in a fortnight.
