For Poor Old Che-Che

yes, everybody’s watching you
nobody trusts you anymore
a little diarrhea on the floor
and years of trust are gone

what’s a poor dog to do
when the poo comes out
in streams with no rhyme
nor reason… it seems

meds and diets don’t work
just an unfortunate quirk
turns ‘man’s best friend’
into a questionable jerk

so it seems … no privacy
even with no smartphone
what’s a poor dog to do
when he’s the urge to poo
