Jack 2012

 
I've drunk too much tonight,
will suffer in the morning
walked to the pub
to avoid the statue limit
so drank my fill and more.
Its quiet in the house,
Jack asleep and waiting
stretched his full dimension
bed-time soon for him and me.
He'll watch me as I throw my shoes
take off my shirt and tie
as me likes the company,
understands me as I him,
not a word between us,
now and then a biscuit, walk
a tickle on his belly
licks behind the ear for me,
tempered all with loyalty
it does not work without.
