Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Ellington Ellington Bulldog of Mine

Ellington, Ellington, bulldog of mine.
How dare you have the sensitivities so fine?
I’ll get to Grandma-sit you just this one time.
I’ll dress you in robes of purple and lime.

Ellington, Ellington, do your one big trick.
Waddle over here and give me a lick.
You may be the only grandchild I’ll have.
Do you need more of that ointment or salve?

Ellington, Ellington, U-tube dog star,
You have stolen our hearts.  Have come so far.
Yes, come over and sit with me, my dear.
Are your teeth straight? Can we lose the headgear?

Ellington, Ellington, you make me smile.
For you I will dance an inner mile.
I am your grandma, and you are my dog.
Here’s a plate of steak, now don’t be a hog.

Ellington, Ellington, Mom and Dad are home.
Get back here this instant. Please do not roam!
Ellington, Ellington, keys in the lock.
Get back in this room, and please do not squawk!
