Poor Paw


Poor Paw

A twinge, an ache. I noticed it today.
I tried to run around but it didn’t go away.
I hopped from left to right and I hope she didn’t see
But we just had paw inspection with the comforting ‘poor me’.

Arthritis? What at my age?
I don’t think so, let’s move on and turn the page.
I hopped from right to left and I hope she didn’t notice
But now we are waving bandages and a warming poultice.

‘Poor me’ I hear.
Poor me - I fret.
Poor paw I fear.
Poor paw - I bet
Poor me – you see
Knew it. I’m going to the Vet!
