Sense Sonnet - Acher

Chew Toy

Roscoe is just a puppy dog.
My diabetes stuff is not
Something that's in his dialogue.
The lack of feeling that I've got
In my feet at times - there's no way
That Roscoe could know what he did,
While I slept earlier today,
Was something that I would forbid.
When I woke up and saw what had
Happened, but could not feel the pain,
All I could feel was very sad.
It was useless to try to train.

I had to put down my Roscoe,
For gnawing off my numb big toe.
