This was a project I did basically during the pandemic. I started writing a poem a day. Once ‘real life’ started again it got harder to write everyday, which is interesting.
…mostly cool
my dog, he drools
…really bad
the floor becomes
a gross drool pad
he cannot hide
his want of food
his pushiness
…frankly rude
mealtime done
there he sleeps
gather towels
into a heap
life with dog
…mostly cool
but not so much
the pounds of drool !!
More Towels!
These two things
They do not mix
Dogs and rain
Do you want pics?
When dogs go out
In the rain
The mud they spread
Is such a pain
I just can’t win
Although I try
The mess is such
I want to cry!
From smelly fur
To dirty paws
To leaves and sticks
There should be laws!
Every time
The beast goes out
Here comes the mud
More towels! I shout
Pushy pushy dog
Here he comes
Jumping on the bed
Does he want his breakfast
or is he checking if I’m dead?
Here he comes
Lounging on the couch
Pressing with his paws so hard
“Pet me now you big old grouch!”
Here he comes
Begging for some food
“Don’t you see my sitting here?
You aren’t sharing?? Oh so rude!”
Here he comes
Barking really loud
“Look Look Look a squirrel!!
Aren’t you very proud?”
Here he comes
“Hey I want some cuddles”
When this dog is gone away
my tears will fall in puddles
Greedy Drool Dog
My dog is very greedy
He begs for all my food
Seems he’s always hungry
Always in the mood
He seems to like everything
Cheese and eggs and ham
He always comes a’running
When he hears the cupboard slam
The problem with this dog
He produces lots of drool
So when you eat around him
On the floor will be a pool
It is really quite annoying
Sometimes I get mad
But then he looks at me with love
Well, then I am just glad ❤️
