A Guy With A Golden

A guy with a Golden, a Teddy, a Pearl
                        A Tucker, a Marley, a Bailey, an Earl
A Samson, a Buddy, a buddy for life
         Sometimes there’s a Golden instead of a wife!

A Todd or a Taylor, a Radar, a Max
                            A Molly, an Archie, a Bella, a Jax
A Kayla, a Sophie, a Luna, a Rod
               A Golden believer would not find that odd

A guy with a Golden, no matter the name
             Retrievers are always and simply the same
A bundle of loving, all fluffed up in fur
                   No matter the pronoun, a him or a her

A Monte, a Hudson, a Cooper, a Bear
              A Chance or a Boomer, a Patch or a Claire
A Chrissy, a Lucky, so lucky to know
                 A Golden Retriever, the best in my show

At first I thought these were motorcycles, maybe cars or guns. You think it's just me that was slow to catch on or was it intended? Have you really had that many goldens? Me, I'm a Siamese cat lover, have been since a little girl. I enjoyed my time with your poems. Your talent shows unique perspectives and creativity. You are an individuated individual! CayCay

Hi Cay Cay, thank you! I have only had 2 Goldens, Hudson and Monte! I just lost Monte in January and I miss him so! I know of Goldens with those names and thought I’d string together in a poem! Happy Sunday xxoo

I thought the title was a typo 'til I read the poem, Mike. I see that my thoughts are as far off as the rest of me. lol. Golden Retrievers are one of the few breeds of dog I can get close to. Collies, the other. ~ Dog-gone Cat-lover

Very creative Mike, especially the use of names to maintain a coherent rhyme scheme. Not easy. It's not hard to tell you're a dog lover!
