Most of my day
is spent on couches
and beds
under blankets,
or on cushions,
asleep,
as I am a senior
aged thirteen.

I love to play
and run around
but I get tired
twice as quickly
though I still run
fairly fast.

Sometimes I hurt,
and fail to jump,
they pick me up
and hug me tight.
I wag my tail,
it’s good to know
they love me still,
for years to come.
