I Am Anaya Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Trooper

My chihuahua, Trooper is from the pound
It was him or Super an older hound
Formally known as Chico
I changed his name to Rico
He snarled, and left with a look of dumbfound

The name Trooper sticks he has it his way
Super the old hound comes to mind today
So Trooper and I
Go out for a ride
Super, Trooper, and I are here to stay

When Trooper acts up, I call him Rico
Himself again, my little taquito   
I dropped Super, he’s now Old Guy
We’re off to the dog park close by
Just dog pound nightmares, they aren’t loquito

*loquito-Spanish meaning mad, crazy

Beryl Edmonds November 11, 2022 at 12:55 PM Love the Super Trooper Limerick’s Anaya, the names Rico and Old Guy, love them too… Belle -:) I Am Anaya November 11, 2022 at 3:46 PM Thank you, Belle! I really enjoyed yours too. ~Anaya

David Kavanagh November 7, 2022 at 10:53 AM A cheeky one Anaya, changing his name from Chico to Rico, but very appropriate too, can’t teach an old hound new tricks, I’m not sure? Great one for the contest, cheers David I Am Anaya November 8, 2022 at 12:52 PM Lol's David Kavanagh November 8, 2022 at 10:50 AM I’m even more confused now Anaya lol, A super trooper, Rico, Chico, Loco, brilliant series of Limericks! I Am Anaya November 7, 2022 at 2:18 PM Chico is what the previous owners named him, the pound re-named him Trooper, I changed it to Rico, didn't stick 'cause he thought it sounded too much like Chico, so Trooper it is! Super old hound guy stays!

L Milton Hankins November 6, 2022 at 10:51 AM (chuckling) Sounds a bit like my Jose! I Am Anaya November 6, 2022 at 2:53 PM Jose is a funny name for a dog unless he is a chihuahua! :)
