J. Summers Poet Rhyme

Rug Nuggets

I spent all of yesterday
and most of the day before
picking up those rug nuggets
where they hadn’t been before.

I found one by the back door
and another by the chair
I saw some in the corner
and I see some over there.

I bend down to pick them up
until I’m nearly drained.
I surely will be happy
when this puppy’s potty trained!

Arlene Binner February 15, 2023 at 8:50 AM Fun to read! In my opinion, you are very talented in writing poetry! J. Summers February 15, 2023 at 3:38 PM Thanks Arlene, you are too kind. Fortunately I installed a doggy door that fixed everything. John

FJ Thomas January 6, 2023 at 4:34 PM Lol I have to say, this is the first time I've ever heard them refer to as "rug nuggets" J. J. Summers January 7, 2023 at 2:49 PM Thank you for reading and commenting. Don’t know where I heard it but it stuck. John

Charles Messina December 8, 2022 at 3:07 AM Puppies will do that, hopefully it's nuggets and not diarrhea...it could be a little ruff at times training them (lol). Nicely done, John. Charlie J. Summers December 8, 2022 at 8:14 AM Hi Charlie, thanks for reading. At least once they get the idea it’s smooth sailing. Have a good one. John

Terry Flood November 26, 2022 at 7:53 AM Oh yeah… been there, done that, John, by which I mean ‘picked up’ not pooped on the rug (I haven’t done that for some weeks now). Pleased to add another name to Soup’s clan of Rhyme artists. Terry J. Summers November 26, 2022 at 8:00 AM Thanks for the read, appreciate it. Will be back to read again later. John

Elizabeth Mccann November 6, 2022 at 7:40 PM John, This from a few months ago but I just found it, so funny I laughed out loud. I don't see anything recent. Are you okay? Elizabeth J. Summers November 8, 2022 at 6:18 PM Thanks for reading Elizabeth, it is much appreciated. No real problems, just a lack of ideas and such. Thanks for asking. Looking forward to reading more of your work. John

Jim Slaughter August 21, 2022 at 8:57 AM Ah, yes, the joys of being a puppy's papa. Lucky all he left you was "nuggets". No puddle prizes, as well? A fun read, John. J. Summers August 23, 2022 at 10:17 AM Thanks Jim. What really helped was installing the dog door. John

Deb M June 14, 2022 at 4:46 PM A really cute humorous poem J…..enjoyed! Debx J. Summers June 14, 2022 at 5:35 PM Hi Deb, thanks for reading. John

Gershon Wolf May 29, 2022 at 7:33 AM 'Rug nuggets!' Cute label for a messy situation! Thanks, John. J. Summers May 29, 2022 at 10:43 AM We got lucky, they were all quick learners.

Emilia James May 23, 2022 at 12:02 PM Seems to go on forever at the time then all of a sudden their trained. I like what you call the little gifts they leave us. Enjoyed your poem J. Emilia. J. Summers May 24, 2022 at 7:46 AM Thanks for reading and commenting Emilia, it is appreciated. John
