Hobbo's Poems
A quirky look at life from a Yorkshire poet and his dog's perspective
Treating people properly
Dauphy: Did you see that old guy on the telly last night.
Hobbo: No, I missed that.
Dauphy: A hundred and three he was. How much is that in dog years?
Hobbo: About fifteen I suppose.
Dauphy: Wow. Anyway he didn’t look it, and he was saying how much kinder people have been since he reached a hundred.
Hobbo: That’s because most folks respect old people.
Dauphy: But why can’t they be kind all the time, like dogs.
Hobbo: Now that Dauphy, is a very good question…
Treating People Properly
The chap was over a hundred
Found that people were kind all the time.
It should've been sooner he wondered,
Now that, is a nice paradigm.
So true.

Kindness shouldn’t need a number to kick in. I say kindness at any age. 😉
