Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Best Friend

He adopted me, so I came

To live with him in his small place.

His wife recently died, a shame,

Now he was a misery case.

He's old and becoming more ill,

Won't be long and he'll join his wife.

But I can help him while he's still

Living out the rest of his life.

Whenever he is feeling blue,

A solace for him I can be.

Instinct will tell me what to do.

He can always depend on me.

I will stay with him till his end,

And this dog will be his best friend.
