Seems like I was born here, the place belongs to me,
Every corner is my borrow, where else can I flee.
Love is everything I need, I get it like a Swain,
People around me yearn; in pleasure and in pain.

Every moment I am full of pep, with a cheerful company, never alone
Always someone is on my watch to catch me when I run with my bone.

I see everyone takes efforts to entertain me
But not everyone used to be always free.
My day used to begin with a wake-up call,
Jumping around everyone I often used to take a fall.
Never gave up on my duty and wake everyone up,
Then used to grab a corner and sleep like a cute little pup.

As a watchman I used to guard the washroom,
Waiting for my turn, which never came soon.
Breakfast was always a delight,
Would poke in everyone’s plate for my bite.

Never understood how things would change,
Within minutes everyone would get ready and I would feel strange.
I would run to and fro in the hallway,
Just to make sure that I am not alone all day.

Time would come when everyone used to depart one after another,
I would be depressed each time, feeling like a courter.
Such a big house with just two people would feel soo empty,
No one around and things to do would be plenty.

Sunset, balcony, their tea and my bone would deck up twilight,
Lit up gardens, chirpy skies and busy streets would be an evening highlight.
Addictions to daily soaps was just a myth,
Until I started watching them and begot myself a Blythe.
Commercial breaks would make me visit the door in anxiety,
Lingering until everyone came back in the society.

Sound off doorbell always kicks off my excitement to its peak,
From those back from office, lots of love is what I seek.
A smile on their faces enlightens me again,
Frolicking with excitement, I would jump around like a hen.

I am always the first one with the dinner plate,
When I am done, I poke in others looking for a cake.
Done with dinner its time for my ride
Only the time I wear my harness with great pride.

Ambience outside is always full of glee,
I keep running around greeting everyone and feeling free,
My naughty actions would often get me admonished,
Secretly I knew, I am admired being a donnish.

Few rounds of the park and I would then jade
Gazing at the lift, I would wait to raid.
Running as fast I could, I would reach my bed,
Turn upside down and prepare for my great sleep ahead.

Eat, sleep, jollify and repeat was my routine,
They thought I was a baby, but I behaved like teen.

But one day, suddenly everything changed
Everyone stayed home and I felt our roles were exchanged
I waited at the door barking loud,
But no one took me out,

House full of people meant more love and more outings,
First they explained me with compassion, but later started houting.
Stayed home for 2 days and I felt depressed and lonely,
Soon they forgot their pain and treated me like I was one and only,

Days started becoming smaller and I had more time with them,
But with their love, I also felt their concern and strain.

I don’t know the reason, why they are indoors
And I am not allowed to climb the floors,
Whatever it is, seems very severe and deadly,
All I want is everyone to be safe and healthy.

I am ready to spend rest of the time home,
When things will change, they will immediately have me roam
Till then I will enjoy their company and play all the time,
Lets pray to God that, again things will be merry and fine…
