Kay the Dog Groomer

the dog groomer whirled into our home today
My name is Kay, she said, we liked her right away
The dogs did not run from her, they stood as still as a broom
She had an easy time doing their nails, hair and their groom

I just need you to spot them, she said to me
There was no time for crumpets or tea
The cookies I made sat until they were cold
But her technique was wonderful, big and bold

Each dog took their turn on her tall table
She cajoled and coaxed them as she was able
Next time I’ll bring my own dog, she told me.
Kay was in demand, too booked up to stay for a cooky.
