Ole' Petey and I - Pt 2

So Petey was a pup

And the love of my life

Kris would let me come over

And feed him dinner each night

ALPO - The Large Can

With a MilkBone chaser…

And we'd play tug-O-war

With a big rubber ring

He was my dearest friend

Ole' Petey, Ole' Kid…

He was just my best friend

In the

World.

Dinnertime came, and since we shared

The yard-space

Petey was soon

A regular face

Staring in our back window

Right into the small kitchen

Where me and my brothers and Mom

Would be eating

When Pop would work late

That's where we'd be

And looking right in on us

Would be

Petey.

I remember HOT DOGS

And how Pete always knew

When hotdogs were to be

Expected

On the

Menu.

I can see his pink nose

Like a pencil eraser

Pressed up on the screen

His tail wagging and wagging

O, Petey - I loved you

And love you still, so.

Petey,

Ole' Petey

Ole'

Kid.
