Three Word Wednesday requires participants
to use the three words of the week in a composition.
The words this week were faithful, isolate and scrutinize.
The List
When you scrutinize your circle
Of friends and merely so,
When you isolate the faithful
From those you should let go,
You get a better picture
Of the dismal catalogue—
The more I mix with people
The more I like my dog.

How very true..I feel the same about my rattie.. Although maybe a prune of the circle makes for a small but faithful group of friends..
ReplyDeleteha ha - so true!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you celebrate the faithfulness of dogs!
ReplyDeleteTrio for 3WW
I LOVE this! Nothing could be truer.
ReplyDeleteyep.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean... I have 2 sitting right beside me.
ReplyDeleteOr cat.
ReplyDeleteThe more I mix with people
ReplyDeleteThe more I like my dog.
Sigh! If only I had my dog!
I like my dog too! But also a number of people.
ReplyDeleteThere is a mutual need between man (or woman) and their dog. Both tries to please the other apart that is from giving up their place in front of the fire. Dogs are not too judgmental.
ReplyDeleteSimilar applies to me...the more I like my two furry, four-legged rascals...but I've been saying that for a long while now! :)
ReplyDeleteoh so true!
ReplyDeleteI can relate! I really don't have any close friends outside of my family. My brother is my best friend, his soon to be husband and I have become very close too. My kids and I are close. My husband is my other best friend, and his older brother means well even if he is sometimes a lunkhead. Other than that, I keep to my cats!
ReplyDeleteYou can count true friends on one hand ..................sometimes on one finger.
ReplyDeleteSniff!
ReplyDeleteHA HA ! The irony of life :-) . Beautiful composition.
