On Getting Old, by Midge

It's not a very easy thing

To be an old man's dog

I find that I quite often have

To give his mind a jog

If my water bowl is empty

Or I'm running short of food

He only needs a little nudge

To get him fully clued.

But now he isn't very good

On those old legs he's got

I don't get out for walks as much

And I miss that quite a lot

We play games in the garden

And I like to chase the cat

But then I too am getting old

And perhaps a little fat,

We have a real partnership

And just keep plodding on

I think we've found real happiness

Just me and my old Don

Good morning MrD. and another "classic" for sure! Please will you give darling Midge a pat on his head and an extra little something to nibble,as he speaks so highly of you!

I will certainly do that SH, thank you, but would point out that Midge is a spinster of this Parish. 😉
