Doggie-Kisses

 

For all our little domestic carnivorous quadrupeds

 

 

“Love anything, even a small animal, and your heart will surely be broken.”

 

-C. S. Lewis

 

 

Her life is short, her nose is long

A dachshund’s bark is a merry song!

 

Her life is short, her body is long

And how her little paws pad along!

 

Her life is short, her ears are long

Her love is a happy ping to your pong

 

Her life is short, her tail is long

Her eyes are big, her heart is strong

 

Her life is short

But the memories –

O, the memories are long!

The Cosmic Inertia of a Six-Pound Dachshund - short poem

The Cosmic Inertia of a Six-Pound Dachshund

 

Why is the resistance factor

In shifting a six-pound dachshund

Who does not want to be shifted

Greater than that of tons of iron?

In Search of a Lost Cat - poem

In Search of a Lost Cat

We only knew that Java-Cat was gone
Apparently he slipped out through a door
We missed him sunning in his window-throne
We missed his poor attempts at a lion’s roar

We only know that Java-Cat is gone
We have walked the woods and called his name
At all hours, morning, day, night, and dawn
And this season is compromised by blame

We only know that Java-Cat is gone
Leaving us to mourn, and Chai-Cat all alone

Counting Dachshunds - poem

Counting Dachshunds

Some people go to sleep by counting sheep
But I instead must count two dachshund pups
Who are not comforted by box or crate
Or fluffy towels upon the bedroom floor

Astrid and Luna commandeer the pillows
By right of conquest over human hearts
And there recline like princesses royal
Throughout the watches of the dreaming night

O sleepy little carnivores, you bless
Both nights and days with doggie happiness!
