Barbara Gorelick Poet Rhyme

My Neighbor's Dachshund

My next door neighbor has a little dog
Who lives his life close to the ground
They laughingly call him "Stretch"
A  much sweeter dog cannot be found

Stretch has an" I can do it" attitude
He tries and tries to jump the fence
Now really, its just my own opinion
But I think he's more than a little dense

He tries to bring in the morning paper
Between his legs he lets it drag along
Almost every day he trips and falls
Never able to figure out what's wrong

He brings a bit of fun to the neighborhood
We gladly doggie- sit when they're away
This goofy little dog with six inch legs
Has a  way of brightening up our day

Reason A. Poteet January 27, 2015 at 6:20 AM A delightful piece, not sure our neighbors would doggie-sit for Simon. But our son will come over and stay with him. Congratulations on your win...Even without your title, the breed would have been obvious. Love that Stretch.
