A Song For Dinah...

Life ain’t fair -- it's a bitch,
Even worse when bait and switch,
Trust is often hard to find,
Add to it the daily grind

Dinah's dying – days(?) to live,
When is time a shot to give?   
On my Birthday off the streets
We took her in, gave her treats
Gave her 7 years love,
She was our Soul Glove 

“Her brain tumor is too deep…” -- 
Doctor's words that make us weep…
Life goes on, loved ones depart,
So I rhyme to mend my heart

As I walked, I saw dead fish
Pulled in restaurant for dish --
Backstage drama makes cuisine, 
As we choose our protein…

Dinah, as dogs do, chased birds,
Gentle Killer beyond words,
A Food Whore, she gave me paw,
When is time for her no more? 

Like drunk sailor tries to walk,
Can she hear baby talk,
That her aching parents weep? --
“Her brain tumor is too deep…” 

They'll eat fish in S’Agapo --
Strong eat weak -- perhaps God's law,
Loosing loved ones  -- never fun,
And tomorrow is new Sun…
