A STILL DOG
The creater must have have been a dog lover
A dog with no blood and bones
Sat and guarded the street homes
He sat there all night in the chill
But all the time he was quite still.
From dawn to dusk he sat on the ground
Looked at each one passing by
He never barked but sat there
Waiting for his master all day.
Perhaps it was the memory of the creature
The master had made it an everlasting feature.
