It is dog biscuit time at the animal shelter
as I feed the salivating "babies"
some are Labradors, some Pit Bulls
some are Poodles, some can be called mutts
but they all have canine grins, big smiles
with hanging pink tongues!
they love unconditionally and will lend a kiss
if you put your snout to their snout
and I carry the bacon strips to each cage
and they sit on their big rear ends, (and small)
salivating, hesitating, quieting down,
for that nice dog biscuit
some get two, when they are nice
but most get two if available
and they grin and they grin
some have dripping beards on chins
some have long coats
some are very trim
but they all have dog faces
and love is in this place
