Ole Max (Inspired By Andrea)

This poem is inspired by and I guess coud be in conjunction With Andrea Dietrich's wonderful little poem" Dog that Wears a Cone" so her's should be read first if you have not already! We once had a Lab, black with white socks, he was so very loveable, but I'm afraid, dumber than a box of rocks. For the third time that "houdini dog" got loose, and for the third time got a bad case of porky quills. That dog would often slip his noose. Took him five days to get home from them hills. The poor dog limped home almost dead, Vet filled him with meds, and stuck a cone on his poor little head! and for two days he went through all Andrea said. Then I came home and hurried, Cause my wife called quite worried. Seems loveable coneheaded Max acted quite sick, it had been two days since he got into that fix. And for two days he had not himself relieved! We pulled off his cone so he was able to sniff, and he made straightway for some trees, he sniffed around and his leg he did lift... and goodness gracious..how he peed!!!
