Husky In Crisis

Why the shrill yelping?
Must you vocalize so much?
Oh... there’s cactus where?

Ouch! Tom, this made me think of a husky and an unplanned encounter with a thorny cactus! Huskies do, indeed, vocalize! So does our Wheaten terrier. Seems they have much to say! Thank you for this venture into humor and I like the last line that invites us to use our imaginations! Sending you blessings!

Thank you, Sam. I wanted to try something a little different. My wife and I love watching dog videos on YouTube, especially ones about the more vocal dogs like huskies, and french bulldogs like Walter. If you haven't heard of him, check him out. Talk about vocal! He's a crack up, guaranteed to make you laugh. Blessings to you.

Hi Darlene, hope you are well. I suppose a curious dog could get cactus in undesirable areas. Not my best poem. Hope you have a great weekend.
