Robert Lindley Poet Rhyme

My Lucky Dog Surely Has No Fleas

My Lucky Dog Surely Has No Fleas

My lucky dog surely has no fleas
they all jumped from him onto me
His luck could be quite fetching
were I not so furiously scratching

When he sneezes the cold I get
my lucky dog could win any bet
Good night sleep he is a winner
Gas wakes me, damn chili dinner 

Chasing the ladies he is tops
my pick-up lines are all flops
Lucky dog always gets his gal
I waste time drinking with a pal

He has fun chasing the fast cars
if I did that I would have scars
Yes sir, my lucky dog has it made
while I get to write this tirade

Note--  My dog, Midnight (black Lab) I had for 17 years. He passed on fifteen years ago, I've not had the heart for another.... Felt great writing about him... Thanks

Constance La France April 19, 2015 at 12:58 PM Robert, what a character that Luck was, it is so sad when we lose our pet family, it breaks the heart, I understand how you cannot replace him, best of luck in the contest 7, and thanks for visiting my very loooong poem, the story of my life

Jan Allison April 19, 2015 at 9:29 AM made me smile Robert - I know how you feel about not replacing a treasured pet - we never had another family cat after 'poshpaws' died. Good luck in the contest:-) Hugs Jan xx 7 xx
