Notes About The Poem

image from poetess' personal scrapbook

poem submitted to "Raining Cats and Dogs" poetry contest, Christopher Delgans, sponsor 5/18/2026

DOXIE WITH MOXIE

Fritz was a runt, a broken-tailed Doxie with moxie,
Half-a-dog high, a dog-and-a half long, quite coxy.
   He clickety-clacked down the hall like Fred Astair
   minus Fred’s grace and sophisticated debonair. 
Even with that, his wife Hilda found him most sexy.
