Love for animals - Tom Mukasa

We give them names,
especially those we tame,
not to say we neglect,
those with fangs and mane,
the ones,
we cuddle and pet,
the ones,
we let,
in our homes,
and beds,
these are the ones,
I am referring to,
pet pet-names,
mutt, mastiff, canine, husky,
the list,
goes on,
and why,
if not,
companionship,
fellowship,
play-mates,
security,
and,
love for animals.
