Good friend would you give me
just a moment of your time
and listen to my plea
you like to take a little walk with me,
and would wonder to and fro,
and chat to those those we know.
please remember You may have two legs
and I have four
but mine are so much shorter.
would you kindly walk a little slower.
you stride so firmly on
and I come waddling after.
you seem so very strong,
and I a cause for laughter.
On sunny days we stroll along.
enjoying the summer air.
but when winter comes
that’s quite different affair====.
when rain falls, or snow piles deep
you step so easily over.
and I struggle through the frozen drifts,
and my bottom feels on fire.
I wish that I were just s little higher
Good friend, please remember
when you go for walks.
that I am down below.
and think of this
Your troubles might
be all before you,
but mine are all behind me.
W. R. Turner.
