Poetry Thursday

 

Once again Angel Sammys and and Teddys Pawetatonc have challenged us to write a poem about the picture below.  Please to enjoy

Momma could not find her dogs and yelled for their barking affirmation

But the silence only added to her frustration 

And then she found the note which brought her further consternation

Because it read “dear mom, the dogs have gone on vacation”

Clyde was the dog who wrote the note

And convinced to go with him his brother Spot

Because years of play and snuggle left them overwrought 

And to get away they boarded a boat the size of a dreadnought

They arrived at their vacation place managed by Club Med.

And were stunned to see just how big was their bed

And they were happy no human would hog the bedspread

And they went to dinner to do the most popular vacation activity being over fed

The next morning they relaxed on floaties in the pool

They drank cosmopolitans and shouted “vacations rule”

They were the coolest of the cool

To live any other way was for a fool

For the next three days rain did fall

And the dogs could not go out at all

And on the computer the Netflix app would not install

So much for getting caught up on Better Call Saul

Finally Thursday broke sunny

But the manager told the dogs overuse of the mini bar had caused them to run out of money

And the only accommodation they could afford was to be caged with the bunny

Spot didn’t know who would go with Clyde on the next trip but it would not be he

Two days later the dogs returned home to be met by butt wiggling and happily shouting mom and dad

The dogs did not know people could be so glad

And they didn’t  get upset when their excited parents peed on the edge of the pad

The humans were so happy at their return how could they be mad
