My oh my… that
behind on that Rottweiler
I pee on what I
want, some call me a colonizer
I chase tails and
balls all around the house
But I am not a
cat, so I will not catch that mouse
When my human
leaves the house I begin to cry out
And on special
occasions I will sleep on the couch
I love it when
the humans rub and scratch
And the best
feeling is finding that perfect patch of grass
Some people say I
am the human’s best friend
Because I will
guard the house from mailmen to the earth’s end
When I sleep I cannot
hold back those innocent toots
And when my butt
itches I cannot help but to scoot
In the art of
pottey training, I have been tutored
But I am no
longer alpha, for I have been neutered
Whenever I roll
over, I will receive a treat I have been told
But I always get
frostbite because my nose is cold
Sometimes I am
punished because I am a dirty slob
But I know my
human will always love me, because I am his dog
Cool Poem. If you like stories written from the canine perspective and you haven't already heard of "Chet the Dog" you should check out some of the writings of Spencer Quinn http://www.chetthedog.com/
ReplyDeleteFun to read, Raekwon. It is clear from your writing that you have a dog and understand their little canine idiosyncracies. Animal-lovers, especially folks with dogs will like this and identify with it.
