Dog Years
by Steven Gowin
I figure at my age
I have about one dog left
Already my back aches
When I pick up after him
The new dog will require
patience of an old man
Still I'll see him grow
And count the years
Fifteen will mean 105
In dog years
I may not outlast him
I have only one dog left

Thanks all. It's a silly little piece, but maybe there's a grain of something.
Great opening lines. Ah, to have the patience of an old man. Good poem, Steven.
Nice.*
