LOW RIDER-CM

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Small paws drumming,
hot sun humming~
short legs running.

belly dragging,
tail flag wagging,
groundhog snagging.

burrow maker,
earth embracer,
scent-trace racer.

long and so fast!
never bedfast
zoomies won’t last.

small paws patter,
rain don’t matter~
brown mad hatter.

tunnel digger
endless chaser
loves with rigor
