ODE TO MALTESE

01/04/2014

I HAD A WHITE PUPPY
WHO WAS FLUFFY AND LIGHT.
MY SON NAMED HIM HOTWHEELS
BECAUSE IT FIT RIGHT. 

I WOULD TAKE HIM OUTSIDE 
TO RUN HIS ENERGY ABOUT. 
HE WOULD ALWAYS STOP TO SMELL ROSES,
EVEN IF IT WAS RAINING OUT.

HOTWHEELS WILL ALWAYS 
STAY CLOSE TO MY HEART;
FOR HE WAS SO SAD WHEN WE WERE APART. 
EACH VISIT EXCITEMENT WAS EASY TO SEE,
ONCE AGAIN I APPEARED 
FILLING HIM WITH GLEE.

AND EVERY NIGHT WE WOULD LAY
ALL CUDDLED IN BED. 
HIS EYES WOULD MEET MINE
NOTHING NEEDED TO BE SAID. 

SO WHEN I COME VISIT 
EVERY NOW AND THEN;
JUST ONE NUZZLE SHOWS HIM
 I AM HIS FRIEND.

Indeed. Everyone should be as excited to see me come through the front door as my dogs are. I enjoyed this poem.
