My Dog Pepper (A Haiku)
"Such short little lives our pets have to spend with us, and they spend most of it waiting for us to come home each day."-John Grogan
Her name is Pepper
She is my first dog ever
I really love her
She was a small pup
sitting on my nephew's lap
I heard her hiccups
With her dreamy eyes
I suddenly felt our ties
and I was surprised
I gently stroke her
I thought it would upset her
She touched my sweater
They gave her to me
They thought I would disagree
I took her with glee
No dogs in the house
I don't like furs on my blouse
I hate to see louse
I've broken my rules
I can't give her back, that's cruel
Oh my! It's a drool.
Teeth marks on my shoes
Even the carpet she chews
Her bites give me bruise
I can scoop her poops
and not gag while having soup
How cute when she sploots!
She pees everywhere
She plays with her teddy bear
Her furs? A nightmare!
She likes belly rub
She licks ice cream on the cup
and hides on the shrub
She cries when I leave
I'm sure it's one of her peeves
I'm home! She's relieved
She sleeps on my bed
I'm convinced when she plays dead
her legs widely spread
She's soft like cotton
my joy when I am alone
She's my companion
My dog is Pepper
this is how much I love her
a poem just for her!
