Quirky Poodle

She’s a keen lady, well   she’s my poodle
One who ‘d roll only  in the guestroom,
With quirky  manners  of caboodle
And whistles proudly ,   so out of  tune:

Once we dashed to her classy stylist
For a new  trim fashioned as a mop!
I was  quite shocked ; a clownish t w i s t
Yet for dear doggie… that was    hip-hop.
 
Then I saw the bill,  how expensive
Made clean locks JUMP in wiry curls--
Feeling  a little hypertensive
She clung to me   in fondled twirls.

While walking  Bubs 'round the parkland
My legs and thin purse hurt badly…
Aghast, she  romped as if on demand
With unkempt canines, prancing MADLY!

Great description, "With quirky manners of caboodle"; I guess she wasn't expecting to look so cute and sexy. Best of luck in the contest.

There's always a price to pay for loyal companionship and usually it's a bargain. Good one Nette...

Nette, I loved this cute and humorous (to me anyway) write. I love my "Bo".. his facial expressions when I talk to him are the best. Dogs have their world and we have ours and the two are continually intersecting creating humorous, memorable, and priceless moments. Your write makes me to muse on such moments. Thank you, friend!

Vets and doggie groomers don't come cheap lol. But then they are part of the family, why not. Good luck Nette.
