A Midsummer's River Blessing
May you be as happy as
that damp-nosed dog
standing all stalwart and stout on the bow of his master's boat
making seven dog-knots against a midsummer's breeze
utterly dogcontent with Life
and quietly giddy
with such
a snoutly abundance
of riverside canine gossip
and pesky feline pungence
