A thought for the old dog (for any kind of competitor)

Nomatter what type of competition you like, a thought provoking poem from an oldies view point - make sure you're competing for the right reasons.




Last night, the cages, trolley box

WERE LEFT BESIDE the door.

Brushes, leads, ring clips, rugs

Tit bits and so much more

Were packed inside the yellow bag

The "best of Breed" I won

When 'I' was the special lad

His mummy's favourite son

The box that waits

Was once 'my' box

The rug 'my' special rug

I miss all the excitement

And that special 'we won' hug

I couldn't help the missing tooth

Or the greying hair

And though I try so hard to please

The sparkle isn't there

But deep inside I'm still top dog

In my heart I know I'd win

Would taking me to one more show

Be really such a sin?

I'm pushed aside by someone new

The latest rising star

And now I'm just a nuisance

And sent out of the car

Like cinderella, left at home

Excluded from the dance

But there's no fairy godmother

To give 'me' a second chance

With my nose against the window

I watch you drive away

If I wish really hard perhaps

You'll come back for me today.

Once 'I' was a winner

Your champion, your king

Now I'm just a passenger

And known as 'that old thing'

So on my own behind the door

I'll sleep the day away

And in my dreams you'll love me still

Cos I'm best in show today!

Awwwww now I'm filling up again!!

oh dear, thats so sad

Oh for goodness sake H!

What did you have to do that for?! I'm crying again!

That'll teach me for coming on dogweb when I should be doing college work!
