What a beautiful ode to a loyal girl. Some lines really get my dog-owning heart: "The nova is over She caught the ball By the mission bell Chase lizards bark at donkeys" As well as the entire sermon at the end, which I'm sure is accounting their personal experiences together. "bottlenosed grifters" lol That's poetry, folks!
