How do you like life?

I asked Charlie the dog.

He replied with no words, only the shake of his tail

and a sniff of the air, before jumping up and on

the dining room chair.

Do you like cats?

I asked Charlie again.

Again no response from my fury brown friend.

Finally I asked, Charlie do you like me?

But Charlie ran outside and chased

a cat up the tree

I suppose that sometimes silence is better than words

and a dog for a friend is not so absurd.
