What Animal Do I Speak Of?
Their love is like no other;
their heart is pure as gold.
They're so very close to human,
in how they act and what they do.
They are greatly more misunderstood,
than any other breed.
They are always and forever clowns,
with a wish for center stage.
They, oh, so want to make new friends,
and run and jump and play.
Often I've seen children poke,
or hop on for a ride.
I've seen these children yank and pull,
with nary a reaction.
They love to snuggle up real close,
to give lots of loves and kisses.
What animal do I speak of,
whose love is so unique?
There is no creature on this earth
who will ever make you merrier.
By Patty Letawsky
Yet while going on a friendly walk,
they're faced with stares of cold.
Unless you've known their devoted love,
it's impossible to explain to you.
We tend to punish this loyal dog,
instead of mankind's deeds.
Yet while displaying this sense of humor,
most people disengage.
Yet when they happily approach,
most people shy away.
And when I felt they might get mad,
they've only beamed with pride.
Yet media's not interested,
unless they've put someone in traction.
Yet they suffer more than any,
from unfair prejudices.
If you've truly known one,
you know of whom I speak.
The animal I do speak of,
it's the American Pit Bull Terrier.
