Maxi

Mama brought me A dog for a present I was smiling and very pleasant I called it Maxi Maxi used patrol the streets of Atlantis With a pal called Twiggy They were unstoppable It was a doggy, dog world When I was alone in the car Maxi was my bodyguard Our neighbour was cruel one day She poured boiled water On my best friend Even though I wasn’t there She was in good care Mama nursed Maxi with motor oil Maxi regained her glossy light brown fur She made a full recovery Even though that what the neighbour did Was bugging me Maxi I embraced her hugging Glad to have you back Still Maxi and Twiggy Be roaming these street of Atlantis Intruders and strangers beware These k-9’s are armed with their teeth…

I love animals... this was so sad about the neighbor. Some are so much less than human at times. Great write. Powerful, and the imagery was excellent. Ann
