Here Lives a Dog

A black Labrador Retriever catching a ball.Image via Wikipedia
Here lives a dog who by relation,
knows every dog in this
whole nation.
And if I wanted to take
it further,
he knows every dog
over yonder.
But don't let me forget
I live--
every dog is radioactive
and though it seems to some like nought,
can give me more than I
ever thought.

    This poem is a combination of news about radiation in Wisconsin and news that you can catch diseases from your dog. Don't worry though, Nicky still has a home. LOL.
