My ex girlfriend called her toy poodle Peanut Head.
I don’t know why, but I liked that name,

and Peanut Head lived up to it; he was kind of nuts,
scratched his nails on furniture, jumped on tables.

He growled at bigger dogs whenever he saw them,
but he always cozied up to cats.

I wondered if Peanut Head thought he was a cat,
or if he’d been a cat in a former life.

When my girlfriend walked out on me, Peanut Head
chose to stay,

and truth be known, I liked Peanut Head better than
her anyway.

When he was young and getting educated,
young women were everywhere in his life.

But, alas, he missed possible opportunities
to find the perfect one.

He squandered his heart on the wrong ones,
never finding the right one.

Now he’s an old man and has no one,
wishes he could have a redo of

back when he was young and young
women were everywhere in his life.

He used to be up for traveling,
would go most anywhere.

But as he grew older the
wanderlust grew less,

and he didn’t travel as much,
preferred being home more.

Then he grew real old and
never traveled anymore.
