Elegy
|
in memoriam Sparky
You'd not kvetch
But faithful, fetch
Each message log.
Though every dog
Will have its day
You did not stay,
Your day is past.
Retired at last
Your day is done,
Replaced by "Run"
(A faceless square,
No loyalty there!)—
No dog and ball
On which to call.
Ah! I regret
We never met.
I'll ever miss
The chance for this:
To give a click
And Sparky kick!
