A Busy Dachshund Puppy

 

She leaves you a gift on the kitchen floor

And another on the living-room rug

And barfs up half a frog just inside the door

And barfs again – a poorly-digested bug

 

She bites into cranky old Pepper-Cat’s tail

(Something so twitchy must surely taste good)

And Pepper-Cat spanks her; oh, what a wail!

(Dear pup, there’s a difference between could and should)

 

And in the evening, while you doze over a book

She rests upon your heart, and gives you that look

And her big eyes ask,

                                  Am I your very good dog?

 

Oh, yes

High Noon at the Bird Feeder

High Noon at the Bird Feeder

A little dog, a streak of dachshund red,
Across the grass speeds to a squirrel’s doom
She wants its blood, she wants its flesh, she wants it dead;
Ripped, shredded, and torn, it will need no tomb.

The fat old squirrel, a fluff of forest grey,
Is unimpressed by doggie dementia;
To Liesl’s grief he leaps and climbs away -
Never underestimate the Order Rodentia!

Liesl’s squirrel clings to a low-hanging limb
And chatters abuse at the angry pup
Who spins and barks and spins and barks at him
Laughing among the leaves, and climbing higher up.

So Liesl snorts and sneers, and marks the ground;
She accepts not defeat, nor lingers in sorrow;
For Liesl and squirrel it’s their daily round;
They’ll go it again, same time tomorrow.

An October Chill

An October Chill
 

A merry dachshund yaps and leaps for leaves

Wind-blown across the still-green summer grass

As autumn visits briefly, and looks ‘round

To plan his festive moonlit frosts when next

Diana dances ‘cross November’s skies.
