"The Wait"

Do you ever really remark about the Little Animal
That waits for you when you get home after dark?

The small ball of fur
Hour after hour she waits for her kind sir.
She wanders through her home
Hoping to find that she's really not alone.

But sadly she knows, that her heart only glows
When she hears the car, coming from afar.
And she must wait until dark
When she can start her welcoming round of endless barks!
