Furry Flurry
On One Who Drools Against the Rules
"The dog was created specially for children. He is a god of frolic."
Henry Ward Beecher
.
I might malign a young canine,
For dim design and wimpy whine.
Though kids may yell and deem him swell,
He's yet unmanaged; we can tell.
.
In sheer delight, my dear, I'd dance,
And give the pup a second chance,
If he'd be trained, not just restrained,
And all our floorings be unstained.

LOVED THIS.... excellent~~~~
Ha! This brings back memories....
I had the worst dog and I kept her hoping "she would get better". I trained her rigorously. We did all kinds of things trying to help her. Finally I gave up. Loved your poem and it captured the essence of the dog.
cute
you are a poet par excellence and the thoughts evoked their simple yet deep, loved it!
