DUSTY SHAMROCK

Who is the lucky one?
The one who finds something lucky or
The something lucky that's found?

Four-legged, furry, forgotten on
Someone's back-door-step with
Eyes the color of a shamrock

Skulking about without a whimper or
Purr to his mane - too afraid to be
Held or petted, and yet he still remains

Attached to the back-door with hope
Even in the change that whisks him
Away to be fixed up and accounted for

He couldn't behave - confined the way
He was and who would've really blamed him,
He was spared in so many ways and so

He returns to the back-door-stoop everyday
With faith in his shamrock green eyes that
He will be cared for as dusty as his mane and

Name are - it was lucky he was found -
He was lucky - we are lucky to have found him -
The something lucky that's found - lucky all around.
