Ode to a geriatric poodle

"Ode to a Geriatric Poodle"-- (with apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein)

Luke is sixteen!
Who'd believe it?
Sure friends..he's slowing down
poor dog can't see..
he'll constantly pee
(he'll  leave gifts so soft and brown)

Harmless tumors..
but his groomers..
can't trim his fur..
(he'll bite!)
fights with the vet..
it's not his time yet..
he still has an appetite!

Someday he'll cross that Rainbow Bridge
(we're kind of all prepared)
Some day we'll see an empty fridge..
of Luke's food that we shared..

But..for now...he's here, somehow..
and happy!! enjoy your ride, yeah!
Hang on Luke..you nutty kook!
But please..on our knees..PEE OUTSIDE!!
