Ode to my Tongue--by Buster



My tongue is with me all the time,

It flaps in the breeze and trails behind.




It discourses at length on subjects arcane,

And laps at my water-dish or catches the rain.




No organ can match its numerous uses,

Like wiping my nose or summoning muses.




My tongue is my brain and my conscience and soul,

It speaks what it pleases, then attacks my food bowl.




And should I fall out of an airplane, its moot.

My tongue will serve well as my own parachute.




I love my tongue!

Buster

I like the part about attacking the food bowl best Buster. You are the furry version of Shakespeare.

You poem left our Mom speechless. She just doesn't understand about dog tongues. They're so much more useful than human tongues.
