Monte's World

C’mon , get movin’ , the sun is up
Says my most impatient pup
Not in words that one would speak
But with his gaze, it’s clear to me

So, off to start another day
Now it’s time to run and play
As breezes kiss his golden curls,
 I think,
How great to be in Monte’s world

He drops his stick, chewed to a nub
Then shows his belly for a rub
His paws outstretched, his tail aloft
I stroke his fur, so warm and soft

Now, let’s eat, his eyes will beckon
Shall it be beef or turkey, no , chicken!
As I mix his platter with one last swirl
  I think,
How sweet to be in Monte’s world

Yes, all day long, till night comes again
Just boundless love from my furry friend
With open heart and arms unfurled
  I think,
I love to live in Monte’s world
