We lost our dog the other day
I don't mean it passed away
We just couldn't find it
Notices were posted on lamposts
A reward was offered
No dog was proffered
But at home he's still around
His bed and bowls are still down
We can smell him in the air
It's just that he's not there
We felt miserable
so to cheer ourselves up
we went out for a meal
at a new Thai place
It was supposed to be pork satay
but it had a funny taste
Thanks for sharing the poems. You inspire the best comments...
Dog poems seem to be the theme tonight. Your's has a different FLAVOR than the others I've read thus far.
Did you forget and leave her at Santa Posa? ?
You made me paws and think,
Washed down a hot dog this week with a drink.
Passed a takeaway down the road,
As into an oven a dog they did load.

Lyn, Brian has the habit of stirring
The pot on whatever he writes
He thinks he can get us bamboozled
He thinks he can get us uptight
But no Brian it didn't quite work here
You should have done kJ's advice
And not gone at all near that Thai place
In the kitchen there could've been mice
You're lucky my friend to have escaped
With just this unusual smell you could see
And not caught some Thai bloody fever
And ended up in A 'mergency
Gettin' bit carried away here...?
