MY GRANDDOG IS OKAY




My granddog probably
     has 
less guile than
     most
human beings

And, check this
     he is a
thinker...
     always
pondering the things
      of life

Or maybe he is just
     always on the
          lookout
for "skwer-ruhls"

(just say that word
      the right way
and he at once
      goes to
FULL ALERT)

How gentle golden retrievers
     are
and "personable"

Just bring him a
     big rawhide
          bone
from Target and sit back
     and watch

For
    you have created a
        "social occasion"
almost unsurpassed by
     dog standards

he will take the delightful
     treat in his jaws
             and
go spinning around the
      room in circles,
all the while making
     joyous grunts,
swishing his furry tail
     knocking things
over, something awful

and settling down for his
     big treat, gnawing...
all as if to say---
     "celebrate this 
joyous time with me!"

Ah, but no dog 
     is perfect

Remember the Christmas
     when he ate the
thirty-five dollar
      special Holiday Delight
white-frosted cake
     from Whole Foods

while the family sang
      carols around the
piano?

There was no denying
     his guilt---his face
was white with
     frosting.

With his special 
    red cap,
he was wearing
     he looked like...
a dog Santa
     white beard
and all...
