Multiamory

Some people have a cat.

Some people have a dog.

Someone I know has none at all.

I have a friend who has none of her own,

but visits her friend's.

and takes anyone's for walks.

Some people have a bunch of dogs.

And some have a couple cats.

Some people have both even

And there's weirdos who keep rats.

Sometimes my friends come pet my dog

and I don't mind at all

Because sometimes I play with theirs

Some cats don't really like a soul

Some rub on whatever they see

Have you ever had a cat and dog

and loved them differently?

And someone asks your favourite.

And you stare blankly

My grumpy cat who's shy and sweet

My dog who really loves to eat

The friendly pooch I've known for years

And the other dog's I've scritched their ears.

They all belong, important parts

of what makes life so damned good.
