Frenzied fur
On four manic driven legs
Awaits me inside each evening.
My face safe
From an overactive tongue
Only by the sheer height differential.
A dance
I'll call the "scamper"
Tugs my heartstrings.
Hey, look at me Dad!
Intones his little cavort
Daring my brush-off.
Astute as any child would be
He understands how preposterous
It would be to ignore this performance.

Nice dog. Some technical suggestions to consider:

And maybe "spared" instead of "saved".
ReplyDeleteCoincidentally, they're having Weiner Dog races at the Remington Park Race Track this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteThat Vorizen commercial with the weiner dogs was always my favorite....
