OBITUARY FOR TWO FRIENDS

Suddenly there was a urgent scent
stronger than ever before
and little Skutt lifted up his nose
anxiously sniffing in the wind
He was reluctant to leave us
so he lingered on for one day and one night
- turning to us with his look of appeal
as needing our help to make up his mind
Then the scent grew more importunate
and he left us just before dawn
The house felt incredibly silent and dark
with him being no longer there
Only three days later
old Sniff got the same distant call
We had to help him a bit on the way
and he thanked us by gently wagging his tail
Then turning around and strolling away
to a warmer place than this earth
The last year he was worn out and tired
so we hope he has found somewhere better to stay
- in a meadow where the sun never ceases to shine
and the grass is forever green
