[PyrNet-L] Chat: poem

["Gitano Road" <petmydog@vvm.com>]

I did not write this-no idea of author.
When I got My New Dog-

I asked for strength that I might rear her perfectly;
I was given weakness that I might feed her more treats.
 
I asked for good health that I might rest easy;
I was given a "special needs" dog that I might know nurturing.
 
I asked for an obedient dog that I might feel proud;
I was given stubbornness that I might feel humble.
 
I asked for compliance that I might feel masterful;
I was given a clown that I might laugh.
 
I asked for a companion that I might not feel lonely;
I was given a best friend that I would feel loved.
 
I got nothing I asked for,
But everything that I needed.
