was sent to me today.
I am passing it on with a dedication to Dína:
Happy Dog 
I'm a happy dog at the beach 
If I had the power of speech 
I would tell you all 
To throw my ball 
I'm a happy dog at the beach 
I'm a happy dog at the beach 
There are no new tricks you can teach 
I am bouncy and glad 
And my tail wags like mad 
I'm a happy dog at the beach 
I'm a happy dog at the beach 
As I hear the seagulls screech 
I chase and I bark 
Long into the dark 
I'm a happy dog at the beach 
I'm a happy dog at the beach 
And I don't want to start to preach -
But if you ask me 
The best thing to see 
Is a happy dog at the beach.

Thank you for that dedication.
I had my slave Jindra to read it to me. The words, so much important to humans mean nothing to me. So, I enjoyed the spirit of that poem.
We go to the beach, sometimes, but I must be on the leash. Such a irony !
A happy dog on the leash and many miserable people off it.
Yes, yes, a dog beach and this poem belie dour curmudgeonly naysaying. See there is joy in simply being and barking.
