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


Excellent.

What a vacation that would have been. And what a family reunion when it was over. Someone in your house Ruby is extremely talented.
ReplyDeleteThey surely know how to enjoy life :-))
ReplyDeleteGreat poem, Ruby!
ReplyDeleteOh man, they couldn't watch "Better Call Saul"!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant and creative poem! Missing out on Better Call Saul because the Netflix app wouldn't install is a very real vacation tragedy, even for pups. 📺 I love the happy, butt-wiggling reunion at the end. Ruby Rose, you have some serious rhyming skills! Hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a poem! Always is!! This is my fave I think!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the poem.
ReplyDeleteHA! That was a fun one Ruby Rose!
ReplyDeleteYou are quite the poet. :)
ReplyDeleteDog vacation, who'd have thought of it, other than you!
ReplyDeleteHaha, Clyde and Spot sure know how to live it up!
ReplyDeleteThe reunion ending was so heartwarming, I could just picture the butt wiggles.
Such a clever and joyful poem, Ruby!
