Piggy Puppy

Soft and warm like little pigs,

Belly warm and milky,

Tiny paws soft as velvet,

Wine gum nose

And beans for toes.

Thrashing and dashing,

Scratches, snuggles baby cuddles. 

Tiny needles line soft lips,

Claws like diamonds

PERFECTION

Feeling really bad

very sad

Wish I could hold

my tongue

Leave judgement

Trying to learn how

Too much on my plate

don't want to hate

When to talk

and when not

Is a talent I need

to hone in

Prefection is a goal

not a reality

Is anyone perfect?

---

and a good movie...

GOTTA Luv em

My sweet puppy

sheds so much

When my feet are cold

I put on 

my favorite thick socks

while I run around the house

---

When I remove them 

at night

My socks look

like a sweater

for my foot!
