Covid Conversations

Every evening since the lock-down began
I've had the misfortune of re-litigating
the same argument with my dog.
No I didn't drop anything,
no you can't have my food,
I'm not feeding you my steak,
please stop asking for a green bean,
don't put your head in my lap,
I don't want your nose on my hand,
please sit down and stop barking at me,
I'd like to eat my food in peace.
