Daisy was above trickery
no shake-a-paw nonsense for us​
no tit for tat​

her fetch was gloriously one way

neither of us the alpha type​

we just frolicked​
careless with our dirt and manners​

antisocial and scot-free

little shit​

stole my chair every time​
howled like a banshee​

and ruined my floors

I only taught her one thing​

to come back and haunt me​
pretty sure she caught on​
I’ll find out tonight​
