Author's Note:
Rhyme scheme: the first 4 stanzas are abcb.
For impact, I changed the last stanza to abab.
This poem was inspired by my relationship with a wonderful man some years ago. He was the most romantic I had yet met, as well as caring and considerate - until I criticised his dog.
I am an animal-lover myself, and it speaks well of a man when he is fond of his dog, but I objected to sharing space during romantic moments with an attention-seeking, slobbering, hair-shedding, butt-licking mutt with bad breath.
The dog won. What a blow to my ego; I had thought I was better looking than the dog.
