Ode To a Whiny Doberman

Oh, you funny doggie, with that brown face I adore,
why are you now making that sound that I can't ignore?
Are you lonely? Are you sad? Are your paw paws feeling sore?
No dog whisperer am I, so sometimes it’s a chore
to understand your needs. My dog talk is so poor!
Already I have fed you. You surely can’t want more.
And already you’ve gone potty. I take you to the door.
No, you won’t go out! You sniff and sniff the floor.
At last I understand! It’s your ball you’re looking for!
Here it is, my doggie. Now what tricks have you in store?

This is one of the best monorhymes I have ever read Andrea! Not one forced line, as they all blend so seamlessly it doesn't even sound like a monorhyme... and that is a good thing! Big congrats on your first place deserving win! : )

Aww! My German Shepherd had perhaps forgotten me. I had been away in the Navy for three years. Went home for visit. He was old and on a chain. He would growl at me. Left alone with him and his ball went out of reach. He looked at me at the ball at me again. Of course I got it for him. Was a sweet moment for me. Hugs...Kim

Monorhymes are my favorite poems at this second, and because of this doggie monorhyme, Andrea. So nicely done! I love it.
