So now an ode to Asteroid, my familiar, my late great wolfy mutt. Again the "B" word, this time I have decided to use an acronym, I didn't create it so I don't know who to thank or give credit to. " Mega-----" was my old girls' very apt nickname; she demanded respect and of her vices was true. Obviously when you read the poem in your head, the acronym produces a better flow. Enjoy! Mo

What beauty in your vices
my precious perfect Being In Total Control of Herself
with flash of fang and hackle 
for those unruly pups 
amiss
of which fashion to behave
indeed too inbred 
to be phased
by your stately curled lip
perhaps 
that gene of language
their generation skipped
for I have heard it said
that above all other primates
you read body language best

in my opinion better than
most humans put to test.

Never had a dog, being a cat person; but this is an inventive tribute to one I know you loved. John

Thank you Cheryl :) In hind sight, she was my "master", teaching me much about myself. I am a student of animal behaviour, including us bald apes, which should probably explain most of my poetic ramblings. Glad you enjoyed xomo!
