Yours is not the only butt
To grace my well-worn surface,
Most passers-by
Cast weary eye
And smile with signal purpose.
Precious few will spare a thought,
When putting down their carcass,
With heart-felt sigh
Or moaning cry
Complaining ’bout my hardness.
Diverse dimensions are the bods,
Who come to seek some respite here,
From raking lean
To rotund mean,
Toady toddlers through advancing years.
Well trod walkway much has caught;
Ably sheltered by brother tree,
Couples’ tiffs,
Lovers’ trysts,
Resolved. and consummated be.
Not only is my comfort sought
By weary walkers but their dogs,
Will urinate
Upon my state,
Leaving me all sullied and agog.
I am here, this is my lot,
Consolation, confidante,
Firm and strong,
However long,
Constancy my enduring stance.

I feel bad for that rock that I left my brother’s dog pee on now! (not that I could have stopped her). This is an intriguing look at life from the rock’s perspective and who knew it led such a social life?

Such a wonderful poem again Bushka. In fact the point of view is so unique and fresh! I love that the first person is an object (I always love content like this!) and you have put beautiful emotions into a rock!
