peaceful puppy with a patch on his eye,
such a happy soul learning to cry,
playing with everyone in the family around,
at night he barks to make a loud sound,
soon they keep him outside in the rain,
now he is bigger and only a pain,
bored all day he barks at everything in sight,
then barks again in the middle of the night,
not a puppy anymore with big sharp teeth,
if someone came in he would let them thief,
chewing up things other than his toys,
as never the people see him being teenage girls and boys,
for long times forgotten and unfed for the day,
the family plans for a trip to get away,
they leave him some food to eat when they leave,
as the dog runs out of food quickly would you believe,
with three days left for the family to return,
the dog grows bitter with anger a concern,
starving hungry in a confined space in the yard,
the last day he waits is very hard,
when the family returns unpacking their bags,
still with the jet lag as the dogs tail wags,
they still didn't feed him and went straight to bed,
as he died in the night when the next morning he was dead.
