I talk to a computer-generated dog.

A download from the ASPCA,

I named him Rufuz cause I miss HIM so much,

And talk to him just like I did the real one,

He was quite nearly close to being my son…

I laugh at myself, doing this talking,

It’s a shame I can’t take him out walking,

Of the bear in the backwoods Rufuz was stalking,

Most of the time of me he’d be sitting and gawking…

Damn but I NEED another dog, one to love,

I cannot live alone anymore, my life doesn’t fit like a glove,

I need someone to talk to, someone who listens & does not question,

Someone to get close to and pet and brush,

 .............& to keep me from feeling this overall depression…
