must be so truncated
when they keep so well
the doctor prescribed
lifestyle for longevity
plenty of rest
plenty of exercise
no anxiety nor stress
no sugar nor alcohol
not a single vice
save loving too much
and peeing on my roses
yet there they sit
shelf life getting shorter
with each wag and wiggle
blissfully unaware
living a guru's life
each moment full and free
quality if not quantity
and while I watch their
eyes squinted with the pleasure
of a well placed scratch
it becomes very clear
that they have already
out-lived me
