lessons from man's best friend

[saw]

I don't care about fame
I just don't want to screw anyone up

I don't need tons of attention, just don't want
my kids to to need years of therapy 'cause they knew me

I'm not at all interested in being waited on hand and foot
I just don't want to make my partner miserable, don't want

to be high maintenance, my goals are rather simple
I'd like to be pleasant, thoughtful, excited to see my family

when they walk through the door, keep out of the way
the rest of the time for the most part, be a good listener......

like the dog.
