Jennifer Proxenos Poet Rhyme

Sassy My Labby

SASSY MY LABBY

Mom and Dad always teach me new
Words, I know many,
They are loving and enterprising,
I’ve heard the names of only family
At the dinner table this
Christmas, hope it will be mesmerizing,
Thank goodness I get tit-bits 
During cooking preparations, the aroma of
The turkey as it cooks is totally tantalizing,
I’m not just a doggy, mom and dad say
I’m clever, tell the family please,
Sometimes they are so patronizing,
Can’t wait, I’m excited, heard them talk 
About Santa, a new ball, a rubber chicken and
A squeaky toy, waiting for Christmas Eve is
AGONIZING, 
I hear them talking about God and above,
So on Christmas Day, will give them 
Extra servings of love!

Paul Callus January 21, 2020 at 2:00 PM Hmmm I missed out on this poem when I was off sick. I love this pet dog which appears to be as (or even more) intelligent than some humans are!:) I am sure it gets more than tit-bits:) Warm regards and hugs // paul

M. L. Kiser January 15, 2020 at 7:22 AM Aw, he's educated, he's pleasant, deserving of great toy and love a good holiday feast...what's to patronize? He's perfect!

Andrea Dietrich January 10, 2020 at 8:14 PM I think this one will never get judged. It's too bad because it was such a sweet poem, Jennifer. Jennifer Proxenos January 11, 2020 at 8:11 AM Thanks Andrea, but glad the culprit was discovered. Blessings, Jennifer.

Andrea Dietrich December 27, 2019 at 8:58 PM this is a really cute take on the contest theme, JEnnifer. I gave our dog two squeak toys this year. He does not play with them much but he sometimes sits by them!! Jennifer Proxenos December 29, 2019 at 7:16 AM Ours too, she goes to it, picks it up, it squeaks and she gets a fright and drops it! Thank-you for a great comment. All the best to you and yours for 2020. Blessings, Jennifer

Lindsay Laurie December 23, 2019 at 11:20 PM Hello Jennifer … Unconditional love and dinner are a well cared for dog's primary joy in life. I enjoyed reading your verse based on a love of your life's perspective - Merry Christmas Jennifer & family - Lindsay Jennifer Proxenos December 26, 2019 at 3:56 AM Thank-you Lindsay. I trust you are all safe and sound. Our Christmas was great, we were with our son and his wife who is a very special person to me. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Blessings, Jennifer.

Kim Rodrigues December 23, 2019 at 6:10 AM Very cute, Jennifer! Each pup their own personality. I loved reading “All Creatures Great and Small” and other James Herriot books filled with out loud laughs and tears. Merry Christmas!

Ann Foster December 22, 2019 at 10:26 PM Wow... This was such a great poem. A fav... and hug your way... and Merry Christmas. God Bless. Ann Jennifer Proxenos December 22, 2019 at 10:55 PM Ann, I loved your last couple of poems but there isn't one that I don't enjoy. You are special, I have already said so, but mean it straight from my heart. Glad you liked the poem, Sassy is like a child to us - we have 2 wonderful sons and their wives, but no grandchildren. Both think it is cruel to bring a child into this world at present. Blessing and an awesome Christmas. Jennifer.
