Puffed Up Hairless Dog

Have you ever seen a puffed-up hairless dog? I frankly did not think that I ever had, and I said as much. This one is a big eater, he feeds more than a hog. And he puts on airs, speaking of his manhood and such. I could not wait to meet him, and it did not take long. He was sitting on a royal throne, looking down on me. He made arm motions to show me he thought he was strong. I wondered how much more arrogant he could be. He raised his wine goblet and yelled off with her head. I realized with a start he was pointing it at me. My hair was awful, straight from a messy feather bed, At least I have hair, I told him with a bit glee.

(laughing) Well, I guess you told that arrogant S.O.B.! Incidentally, I have known a few "puffed-up" hairless dogs in my lifetime. We have a few on Poetry Soup, too. I love this, Caren. Superb writing!

Well, we do have a few on here, Caren. Just be glad they pass you up, or you pass them up. Ha!

I have not met them on here, thank goodness! But in many other places for sure!
