Oh, Ernie,
You were such a rascal
Your paw upon my thigh
lest I, or anyone else,
think
that I was free
to traipse without you
You saved us
from TV dinosaurs
and unapproved
delivery folk
[None were ever
approved]
Plato would have loved you
The perfect model for a
dog
in shadow on the cave wall
You were exactly
what you were meant to be
In your dogged
self-centeredness
you pulled us out
from our own shaggy selves
John Robert McFarland
In the picture above, I have
just driven ten hours to Ernie’s house for Christmas. That was as far as I
could get in before being required to hang out with him.
