Dog Haiku

These were posted on a greyhound bulletin board, and I thought they were hilarious!

Dog Haiku

I love my master;
Thus I perfume myself with
This long-rotten squirrel.

I lie belly-up
In the sunshine, happier than
You ever will be.

Today I sniffed
Many dog butts--I celebrate
By kissing your face.

I sound the alarm!
Paperboy--come to kill us all--
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!

I sound the alarm!
Garbage man--come to kill us all--
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!

I lift my leg and
Whiz on each bush . Hello, Spot-
Sniff this and weep.

How do I love thee?
The ways are numberless as
My hairs on the rug.

My human is home!
I am so ecstatic I have
Made a puddle.

I Hate my choke chain.
Look, world, they strangle me! Ack
Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack!

Sleeping here, my chin
On your foot--no greater bliss--well,
Maybe catching rats.

Look in my eyes and
Deny it. No human could
Love you as much I do.

The cat is not all
Bad--she fills the litter box
With Tootsie Rolls.

Dig under fence--why?
Because it's there. Because it's
There. Because it's there.

I am your best friend,
Now, always, and especially
When you are eating.

You may call them fleas,
But they are far more--I call
Them a vocation.

My owners' mood is
Romantic--I lie near their
Feet. I fart a big one.

We had this topic before you joined up and it was a riot as we also made up our own Haikus. It will forever remain on my top ten list of favorite topics here at pet talk. YOU have GOT to see it and then start Haikuing yourself. I found it here it is.

WONDERFUL poetry everyone! That was a marvelous thread last year--I'm bummed that I missed it. Kobie and Eli want to contribute a couple of haikus now, if you all bear in mind that it's their first try...

Kobie's verse:

Oh boy! Rollerblades!
I gallop, pull laughing Dad
We come home smiling


Eli's verse:

High frisbee floats, curls--
My body launch'd to meet it
In a graceful arc

Here's my contribution!

Under the bleachers
Isn't it neat, everything
you see you can eat!!!


In loving memory of my Golden Taffey! :)

Here is my contribution, and Carrie you must read it with your English humor in tact :D

"Me and Daisy in the big bed.
We sleep together and
it makes Carrie see red."

LOL Jackie
