Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Amos Great Aunt P's Magical Dog

My Great Great Aunt Prissy had a magical dog. 
She never needed friends but she did have a blog. 
Her acquaintances were thrilled with her pix 
Of a talking dog with costumes so thick 

She would put hilarious captions under the blog 
Stating the words came from her magical dog 
A border collie with a mad sense of humor 
We all laughed, thinking she had a brain tumor 

My Great Great Aunt Prissy made her dog famous. 
When she passed we fought over who got her dog Amos 
By then he was up to six million hits every day 
Advertisers were eager to throw money his way 

I drew the long straw and took Amos home gladly 
He was mouthy, a diva, and spoke his voice gladly. 
A magical dog loving his own fans and gobs of hype 
He is standing over me now watching me type 

Criticizing my English, correcting my grammar. 
Laughing at my mistakes in a belligerent manner. 
Great Aunt Prissy’s sassy confident magical dog 
No longer has a following, friends or a blog.

M. L. Kiser February 28, 2019 at 7:40 PM That dog acts like some people I've known! Wonderful poem. Caren Krutsinger February 28, 2019 at 10:51 PM I thought of it when I read Maurice's poem about a dog who swears. I asked if I could use the idea. Then I thought of a woman on U-tube who dresses up her cat each day and has so many followers advertisers have given her enough money to buy the cat her own house!
