The Peanut Butter Club

Ev’ry night, just ‘bout nine
              This story does unfold
The living room is quiet
              My puppy’s nose is cold

The TV plays a drama
              We’re watching, all is well
In fact, my pup is sleeping
              As far as I can tell

A bit of hunger hits me
             The pantry in my sight
I tiptoe ‘cross the carpets
             So quiet while in flight

No matter my endeavor
            I turn to see a tail
Wave above the sofa
           Following my trail

Before I touch the jar
          He knows just what I’ll do
I’m caught, there’s no denying
         “Yes, there’s some for you”

This little game, each night we play
           My finger now a stub
As we have just concluded
         “The Peanut Butter Club “



For my little Monte
Who just adores peanut butter
“Natural, extra chunky, of course”

A 'darling' of a poem, Mike. I was thinking one thing the whole time I was enjoying it---so glad it was your dog catching you...and not your wife!!! Ha-ha: This, from one who doesn't have a dog!! (LOL!) Another FAVE for me! Best wishes, Gershon

it's great when you stick the peanut butter to the roof of the dogs mouth, drives them nutty (no pun intended) lol But the reward is well worth it to them. Great poem Mike, much enjoyed...Charlie

Not sure what comes out the other end would be very pretty, but you can't help but spoil your pets, Mike. My Cat is the same with margarine. I have to have a secret stash... Regards, Viv

Loved it Mike, can just see it, that tail going like a propeller, that look that says don't forget me. Sadly our spaniel no longer with us and the house is so quiet now. Tom.w
