Notes About The Poem

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 - Nursery Rhyme

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

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!
