Boris the Beagle

Boris the Beagle

This is the story of Boris the Beagle, 
Fearless and brave like Eddie the Eagle. 
Ski jumps, sky dives, death defying dare,
Hang gliding stunts, spinning in the air. 
 
High speed zip wire, Boris on the line, 
Jumping off a bridge into the brine.   
Planning a wing walk over the sea, 
Strapped to a plane, how brave is he? 
 
Bungee jumping down Niagara Falls, 
Our Beagle abseils, skyscraper walls. 
Invited to perform at the Royal Variety show,
But he’s flying with the Red Arrows, 
 	
So, unfortunately can’t go.

Clever Boris. I enjoyed the poem which made me smile, so it did its job. I have a standard Schnauzer that jumps at least 6 foot high. Maybe they should meet, but Australia is a bridge too far. Blessings, Vivien.

This was fun. We used to have a beagle that would climb the fence.
