Regular people
all over the world
seeking connections
to feel!

Sometimes it's a guy,
sometimes it's a girl.
Sometimes it's a dog,
why not give it a whirl!

Just look for a dog
they're loyal and friendly
and warm to the touch.
Unlike most of the people you'll meet.

The world is in turmoil
you know that it’s real.
It seems so infectious
and so very bizarre.

So go find a dog,
but please don't abuse it.
It may help you
get through the night!

Your suicidal thoughts
will appear.
Depression is real
you know it can kill.

Go find a connection
maybe a dog.
You may find some
happiness there.

Just remember this
even dogs can't be trusted.
They'll bite you when angry
and tare at your flesh.

So walk away
while you still can.
You just may regret it,
but soak it all in.

I am one rock
standing alone.
Hoping for something
that heals!

People and their dogs!

What the heck, maybe it's worth a shot. In the meantime just realize we'll all die like flies. I'm just waiting for the burning to come!

My Dearest John,

Just remember this
even dogs can't be trusted.
They'll bite you when hungry (change hungry to afraid? or angry) dogs do not usually bite when hungry.
and tare at your flesh.

I have great report with most Cats. I love when they jump into my lap to curl up and be petted while purring, then go to sleep giving me their trust and love.

love and good wishes, Cat

You are absolutely correct, even dogs can't be trusted!
