My Dog

You’re special to me,
Affectionate, Loyal,
And good company

You’re there when I’m lonely,
And life seems a bore,
You cheer me and offer,
A comforting paw.

The look in your eyes,
Says you quite understand,
As you thrust a bewhiskered
Wet nose in my hand,

You never desert me,
Wherever I go,
You’re a far better friend,
Than all the people I know,

I thank you by writing,
This short monologue
To my faithful, Devoted
Companion - MY DOG

The 7-Minute Workout

These exercises should be performed in rapid succession, allowing 30 seconds for each, while, throughout, the intensity hovers at about an 8 on a discomfort scale of 1 to 10. Those seven minutes should be, in a word, unpleasant. The upside is, after seven minutes, you’re done.
