Poetry Loving Pooch

Having expended our years of youthful zest
My pooch Nikki and I now read and rest
While scratching her belly
I’ll recite Keats and Shelly
But she confides in me that she loves Byron best
                                                by Robert Gorelick

Perhaps pooch Nikki loves Byron the best 
For words he wrote to his dog laid to rest 
Yet scratching her belly 
Hearing Keats and Shelly 
Proves the two of them hold her interest
                                                by Belle Bellevue
