Needy Little Dog

Every room in this house
wherever I go, he follows.
He’d follow me into the
bathroom, if he could.
If I put up a barrier, he stays
by the edge of the barrier.

Sometimes he sleeps; he’s
not always looking at me.
But he wants to stay in the same
room as me; on guard. At times
looking out.

Bark, bark, bark.
Intruders stay away. Go away.
Bark, bark, bark.
He did his job today.
