FOR MY TWO FAVOURITE PEOPLE -
DANIEL AND JESSICA
MAIN POETRY INDEX Back to: THE ETERNAL OPTIMIST
An optimist sits on the floor
And gazes at the table
And in his mind digests the food
As well as he is able.
He has a nose that soaks up smell;
His mouth drools with delight.
His mind’s alert and two brown eyes
Watch every move in sight.
He hopes a hand will come his way
And bring a piece of steak.
He’s learnt it’s rude to snap at this
And gently he must take.
He hears the human voices drawl
In endless conversation,
But do they heed that he is there,
Alert but in frustration?
Who ordered that a dog must wait -
Come second to mankind?
A whine goes up, a sigh is given –
Are all his family blind?
The empty plates are gathered up
And go towards the door.
His master walks towards his dish
That sits upon the floor.
The owner of this dish appears.
His tail wags with delight.
When meaty scraps go on his dish –
His dream’s fulfilled tonight!!
For Jessica and Daniel
This mutt is their delight,
Whilst Toby, stomach nicely full,
Thinks that his life’s all right!
