the romeo black dog



The romeo black dog
Walking around the neighbourhood
Marking his territory
Every morning he will patrol

Once he has a partner dog
When they were young years ago
They went together brothers in the band
Patrolling their marks of dominance

They didn't allow outsiders to nose around
They would fight the other dogs to protect territory
Most of the encounters they won
For years no other dogs dared to step into it

The years had taken his toll
His partner dog passed away
Leaving the romeo dog alone
Knowing his time will come soon

Old age has taken his shape
He doesn't chase away other dogs
He knows his time and place
He isn't young anymore
