Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

Notes About The Poem

He Likes To Bite

Willy is a Brussels Griffon breed
with a distinctive mustache and beard.
And he will steal your heart; guaranteed,
because he looks so lovably weird.

A chivalrous soul like knights of old,
Willy lives life with vigor and style.
And a jester with a heart of gold,
he survives on little more than guile.

The neighborhood's his private domain
a happy place where worries are nil.
And yet, city streets are paved with pain
and unforeseen dangers lurk there still.

A genuine source of ready wit,
as an artist, he favors abstract. 
And born with a will not prone to quit,
modesty keeps his ego intact.

His wagging tail always sparks a smile,
he's a dynamo in constant flight.
And eager to go that extra mile,
he loves to play, and he likes to bite.
