A Maltipoo dog is a mix of a Maltese and a Poodle...Shylo and Twixx were sisters. They were my adorable set of twins. Sadly, Twixx passed away a couple of years ago. Shylo is now 10 years old and still with us. 

Shylo and Twixx Were both in a fix The Maltipoo sisters both hid They rampaged the trash Then, they ran in a flash Because, they had broken The clasp on the lid The owner came home To give them their bone And to make sure... That they both got their licks But he took the bones away And to both, he would say I know you were both in the mix Nursery Rhyme 2 Poetry Contest Sponsor: Eve Roper 3/12/2021

Very cute Charlie! The flow of the rhythm and rhyme is perfect for a nursery rhyme. So glad Twixx is still with you. I remember when Taffy and her granddaughter Snickers would get into the cupboard and steal the bread! Kids would just love this story! As a little kid at heart I do. Congrats and high fives!

Hello Charles … dogs like nothing better than getting into a bit of mischief like ripping things to bits - nice nursery rhyme Charles - Lindsay
