Michelle Prital Poet Rhyme

Canine Guilt

My Shar-pei's eyes are watching me
With a look of pure disdain
I know she's keeping tabs on me
I wish I could explain
 
Don't judge me. my ole canine friend
My life's a tad bit hectic.
To walk you now would aggravate
My ulcer's turning peptic
 
I hide your leash, avoid the door
But still I see you peering
My eyes implore,"Please understand" 
But yet I see you leering!
 
Oh to be judged by fur and snout
Is a fate I do not relish
By choosing not to take you out
My future could be hellish!

If I were to be judged right now
By a jury of my peers
I'd lose the case, take the fall
To a pair of floppy ears

So, "Come on girl. Let's go out"
I'll open up the gate
Take me to the nearest tree
My schedule can wait

I just finished writing the poem using lines from 5 songs...where did the contest go? Did I miss it? Could I still post it?

Rockman Pritts July 2, 2011 at 9:11 PM Well done Michelle. I felt as though I was in the room. You paint a vivid picture with your pen. I'd like to recomend a pet story of mine. I'm sorry that it's sad but it's the only one I have. It's titled "Canine Demise". Thanks again for letting me read your words. Rockman :-)
