Bronwyn's Mate, Part I

Bronwyn the Barbaric amassed admirers
like oceans collect river-flow
Streams of suitors all tried to woo her
each determined to be her “best beau”

But our fair pirate queen was a fickle young lass
whose attention was hard to retain
She'd have no truck whatever with crude fellows crass
insisting they possess “half a brain”

She longed for a man both witty and charming
dressed rakishly jaunty and vogue
With manners debonair and smile disarming
('though a bit of a rascally rogue)

Few chaps could achieve these high standards, indeed
yet, one day she met him- and he did!
He was dashing, all agreed, on his wild stallion steed
a sight to behold- resplendent!

And Bronwyn herself, couldn't help but admire
this arrogant, haughty young blaggard
by the name of Beauregard Brody, Esquire
how he bragged, and blustered, and swaggered!

Sailing into his arms, Bronwyn swooned straight away
and they would've composed quite a pair
if only her dog hadn't got in the way
of their breathless and heated affair

Bronwyn's sidekick was a pup quite precocious
all beautifully soft, plush and furry
but she was surprisingly fierce and ferocious
sending most people off in a hurry

Yes, Hellion was a marvelous part-Husky pooch
with one eye brown, and one blue
who took great offense at each intimate smooch
with each snuggle, her distrust grew

I had to laugh at the dog's description as I had a husky with one blue eye and one brown eye who lived for eight years, and growled from the bowels of his stomach if anyone talked to me in an upraised voice. Loved every single bit of this one! Darling poem, my friend.

Ooh, A girl's got to watch her dog; they're overprotective, even with people. Cute piece of work.

Yeah, dogs are pretty protective... but mine always had really good judgment! She never was aggressive with anyone I liked, but was a wonderful "guard dog" when the person was a stranger (or just downright shady). Thanks! ;)
