Jeff Kyser Poet Footle

Blue and the Mad Dogs

Cats blessed
Rain rest

Rule, reign
Domain

Dull yard
Rain hard

Dogs see
By tree

Mean dog
From fog

Sidekick
Close stick

Bat, Gat
Hate that

Up, stride
Eyes wide

Chicks couped
Goats grouped

Dog guard
Goat yard

Calm still
No thrill

Closed gate?
Not great!

Dogs there
Gave scare

Poor Blue
Scared too

Break through
Crate too?

You know
Juno?

Dog horse
Of course!

Plan hatched
Slide latch

Slide latch
Fair match

Swing gate,
Now great!

Dog horse
Fight force!

Big gun,
Mutts run

No help
Loud yelp

Mutts wail
Tuck tail

Juno!
Mutts go

Blue scared
Bat cared

Bat strolled
Consoled

A wrap,
Gat naps

Bat, Gat
Smart cats!

Kim Rodrigues March 10, 2022 at 11:54 AM Very cute! Kim Rodrigues March 10, 2022 at 2:11 PM Read it by itself. Jeff Kyser March 10, 2022 at 12:00 PM thanks, Kim! I'm still hoping to try to understand - did you read this by itself, or after reading the Bat and Gat: Blueberry and the Mad Dogs limerick version? I find these work, but I think it is because I know the whole story, so I'm curious as to how effective they are in telling a tale stand-alone.
