Sunning

Old Dog lay in the summer sun

Much too lazy to rise and run.

He flapped an ear

At a buzzing fly.

He winked a half opened

Sleepy eye.

He scratched himself

On an itching spot.

As he dozed on the porch

Where the sun was hot.
He whimpered a bit

From force of habit

While he lazily dreamed

Of chasing a rabbit

But Old Dog happily lay in the sun

Much too lazy to rise and run.
