Reilly
He’s well known around town
as a beggar, a three legger
handouts offered, an awkward bow
a mere slip of a mutt
keeping up with the kids
when they kick a ball or can
“Reilly, fetch”, his duty performed
the plan, rewarded with loving hugs,
enough for him
as the children squirm
each in turn from a licked face.
Reilly knows his name
as well as his place,
having no real claim to fame
he does as much as the children do,
unashamed
invited always into their games.
I’d like to say he is mine, by some chance
but he won’t relate.
Reilly is who he is,
balancing at his stance
not caring, he’s a legger
