Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

If You Have a Pet Gargoyle

I now live in the country 
Where I can take my pet gargoyle for a brisk walk
Among roosters, foxes, and quail.

They pretend indifference.
None staring
None pointing feathers, claws or paws.
Not one screaming or shrieking.

Not one crossing the street in a prissy, haughty way
Like the stuck-up New Yorkers do when I take him for a
Walk down Fifth Avenue.

Only one of hundreds of reasons I 
Prefer living in the country….

Bette Bavington March 3, 2019 at 3:51 PM I really like this one. Does it get heavy? I am assuming you are carrying it seeing that it is stone during the day. Lol. Cool one. Caren Krutsinger March 3, 2019 at 6:57 PM Yes, he does get heavy, but he "aint heavy, he's my gargoyle brother!"

Rebecca Ann March 3, 2019 at 1:16 PM My only dream as a child was to have a pet Gargoyle! Caren Krutsinger March 3, 2019 at 2:21 PM I think there is nothing cuter than a pet gargoyle.

Ann Gilmour March 3, 2019 at 1:34 AM That is delightful Caren, I love your pet Gargoyle, what is his name? My darling British Bulldog Bill to me was the most handsome fella in the world, but I know not everyone was in agreement - their loss not mine! Have a great day Caren, kindest thoughts Ann xx Caren Krutsinger March 3, 2019 at 2:21 PM I call him Poindexter, but he calls himself Dexter.
