Pat My Pet Poem by Mark Meck

Thy wagging tail is welcoming
A sign of friendship and peace
Return I the gesture with a pat on thy back
And on your hind legs you stand
Maybe to reach for the lips and show thy affection
So consistent and true
For lips are gates to the tongue, love's unspoken gesture.
Wonder I when thy spirit is low and thy day is gloomy
Or if thou ever get broken hearted?
Or if thou have mood swings?
For thy countenance never betrays thee,
Being ever veiled in happiness and love.
Let me pat you my Pet
And partake of the gift of true love!
