• The sun shines brightly on the grounds
    Beneath the shadows of the house,
    The foreboding semblance of uncertainty and fear
    I stay in the small shed on the side
    Small and safe
    Safe and small
    The plants are my charges
    I care for them and they show me their beauty
    The master is pleased
    I care for the dogs
    They are always angry
    The master is pleased
    Buster is my favorite dog
    The hedges are my favorite plant
    They are my only friends
    Barking
    The dogs need to be fed
    To feed the dogs I need the suit my master says
    The mask is itchy
    The dogs are mangy and ugly
    I care for them
    I tell the master
    He says they are fine
    ***************
    Buster bit me the other day
    Blood
    He ripped through the suit
    I tell the master
    He says I am fine
    He says I don’t need the suit anymore
    The bite itchy
    I feel strange
    The dogs are nice to me now
    Buster is always smiling
    The plants are nice to me
    They are so funny
    They make me laugh
    The bite is itchy
    I scratch it
    The gray skin falls off
    I fell strange
    Master called me
    He sent me to the basement with the dogs
    He said promotion
    I’m
    happy
    I’m hungry
    I see Buster all the time now
    Busters nice
    He tasty
    Itchy
    Hungry
