James Tate Poet Quatrain

Tale of Tails

If you find a tail with a dog attached,
Say, "Hi!" and pat his head.
But if to the tail a Rottweiler’s latched,
Better nothing's said!

(From my book, Tale of Tails with a Thirst for Verse.)

Carolyn Devonshire February 8, 2011 at 4:27 PM Good one, James! I know some Rottweilers are friendly, but they're known to be very aggressive. Enjoyed your poem! Love, Carolyn

Francine Roberts February 8, 2011 at 3:55 PM Nikki's feelings would be hurt if no one pet her, not all rotties are scary, but this is a cute little poem
