Going, Going, Gone
…
He’s sitting all still ‘n’ stoic
Could cut the tension in the room with a knife
I tip toe to the couch opposite him
From the corner of his eye
He’s watching my every move
…
‘You’re too hard!’
“Rather I’m too soft”, she’s thinking out aloud
Don’t make me the bad cop
Fun ‘n’ games is all good
But discipline’s necessary too
Next ensues a staring match
A test of patience ‘n’ resolve
A fierce battle of wills…
One can sniff the suspense in the air
…
“Ok pretty boy, I give up, you win
You have my heart on a tight leash
Let’s make up
Who can resist your puppy face?
My defeat was a doggone conclusion
No need to whine or whimper
Come on up
Let’s hug it out
Fetch your toy
Come darling, let’s play”
…
Sloppy kisses
Licking ‘n’ tickling
Nuzzling ‘n’ snuggling
…
Going, Going, Gone!
…
