A Human's Litany for a Dog - Poem

A "Human's Litany for a Dog" is a poem by me that was inspired by my dog, Hobie Dawg and the poem "A Dog's Litany for a Human". Both poems were inspired by the poem Litany by former US Poet Laureate, Billy Collins that was inspired by a poem by Jacques Crickillon. (Click here to listen to Litany read by a 3 year old boy).

You are my copilot through thick and thin,
my muse on our morning walks.
You are an agility genius,
and a frisbee fetching fanatic.
You are my soulmate
and the #WorldsBestDog.

However, you are not a fussy feline,
or an attention seeking sycophant.
And you are certainly not an umbrageous oaf.
There's just no way you are an umbrageous oaf.

It is possible you are an Instagram star,
or even a meaningful meme.
But you are not even close to being a Grumpy Cat.
And a quick look in the mirror will show
that you are neither an Internet Bot
nor a Twitter troll.

It might interest you to know,
speaking of the plentiful imagery of the world,
that I am a bag of biscuits.
I also happen to be your Uber chauffeur,
your photo paparazzi,
and your primary pooper scooper.

I am also an ardent admirer
and fanatic fan.
But don't worry, I'm not an agility genius.
You are an agility genius.
You will always be an agility genius.
Not to mention a frisbee fetching fanatic,
and somehow, my soulmate and #WorldsBestDog.
