My Dog Benny
As I come home after school
Towards home I cross the street
Even before I open the door
I know who’s waiting to greet
I turn the handle quietly
And muffle the keys on my pack
I slowly push the door open
A black nose shoves through the crack
It moves the door the rest of the way
I immediately take sight
Of my gigantic furry welcoming
Committee; Towards me he takes flight
He throws his paws on my shoulders
And tries to lick my face
His tail whaps against the wall
At an increasing pace
He then jumps down onto the ground
And sits obediently
He pants as if there is no end
He acts so leniently
He dashes halfway up the steps
Looks back to see if I follow
I run towards him; He barks with joy
Making the room sound hollow
We reach the room on the second floor
He jumps around some more
I grab his very favorite toy
And we play tug-of-war
After a while, he finally calms
In a way that’s so funny
I throw my arms around his neck
I love my dog, Benny
