For a walk needs no persuasion
For it is an thrilling situation
Ready with a ball and lead
His excitement is decreed
Open the door, but he must stay
For a calmer dog will have its day
His best friend Luna, friends all his life,
A run with her is not a strife
His old legs run with a passion
With canine pals he learns his lesson
Back on lead his aim to protect
I cross the road, a safer elect
My good boy home with me
A carrot treat is calorie free.
When something is fun and enjoyable we need no persuasion. Gentleness and kindness is all that is needed.
