Ben turns 15 years old this weekend. He recently moved from Virginia and now lives with his aunt and uncle ("Uncle Bob" aka Bill) in Charlotte. His a Freshman at Myers Park High School. He loves animals including his two cats and two dogs in Virginia and, of course, Bourbon (his tiny cat) and Baxter (his huge yellow lab) here in Charlotte. He is the foremost, world's expert on Johnny Cash, and sounds just like him on the guitar. In fact, he taught himself to play and is a very gifted musician with a remarkable "ear." Aside from his love of music and his extra sharp hearing, he likes being outdoors and loves being at All Wags (even when he is helping out with the hard work). He has had a pretty tough year, but it is getting better quickly. Being at All Wags has really helped get him through it all. His dog, Baxter, and All Wags are the inspiration for this poem, which is now also helping him pass his English class, Hurray!
Mans Best Friend
Man’s best friend should never be alone
Or you could leave him with a bone
For he is one who never wants to be lone
He will always be my own
And in my mind I think about him all day
My mind is always heading the right way
The problem with him today
Is that he’s not feeling as gay
So how to cheer my friend who is yellow
I vow to send him to a place that is mellow
Where he can be as gay as a fellow
And maybe get some Jell-o!
Finally I reveal who is my friend
And you thought he might be pretend
But the truth will help you comprehend
He’s man’s best friend
