Ode to a Dog

Gucci, Gucci, little dog,
Black of coat and long of tongue,
Whose dainty feet seem to dance
When along the road as you run.
Loyal of glance and joyous of heart,
With gleaming eye and frolicsome tail,
You carry gladness where you go-

The Sweepstakes

There once was a man of ambition,
To claim a prize was his mission.
He thought it a sin
Should he not win,
But went home in sorry condition.

The Teacup

There once was a poodle named Toby
As valuable a stud as he could be.
Two owners he had
Who wanted him bad
Which should have him? They couldn't agree.

Life for Today

Don't call me Ahab, or Ishmael.
I would never chase a whale!
Life's to short, Don't you see
To spend my life upon the sea!

Confined upon some watercraft
To right a wrong long since past.
Here today, gone tomorrow-
'This cliche that brings much sorrow!

I will sip, and I will sup
Ere mischance spill my cup.
And,I shall praise my Maker give
For as long as I shall live.

And I shall gain, and I shall lose
'til my Master my time shall choose.
