You greet me whenever I come home
Doing your bumble bee dance of hello
You follow me around to keep me safe
From unknown predators in the house
When I settle down with tea and the paper
You sleep nearby, always aware of me
You remind me when it is dinner time
Heaven knows where you get your clock
But it is always very precise
You remind me to exercise
With your persistent nose prodding
You take me to bed most nights
Again with your amazing internal clock
Sleeping on the floor beside my bed
What a dear and loyal friend you are
