Strolling through the Clubhouse 3 gallery, Plenty of pretty pictures for me to see, But one that especially caught my eye Was a curiously attired bulldog guy. I gazed closely into each brown soulful eye. Is there some story that they might bely? Was he a jester in a Pikachu hat? Were his yellow shoes untied as he sat? Was his costume designer a small boy? Where’d he get his little Pokeball toy? Why’d his artist give him a cute pink face? If not for those two, might he self-efface? As he sits in a foggy purple mist, He’s as cool as anything that might exist. Cheers to the artist and the costume boy And to the mellow bulldog who gives me joy!

your image and your poem brought a smile to my face this morning. Loved the questions asked, especially the one about the Pikachu hat :-)

Thanks Sara. The president of our retirement community here wanted to strike up a relationship between the writers' club and some of the artists groups here, so this was part of that project.
