Pathetic - John Floreani

My neighbours left their dog at home

The last time they went away

I guess they had their friends come ‘round

And feed him through the day

But I still hear him crying

And complaining of the pain

So I put my head over the fence

To see if he was ok

I spoke to him and said

We’re the same you and me

But he gave me a look as if to say

I’m just lonely

I’m not scared
