THALIA'S BARK

My dog’s name is Thalia—
she barks when her tummy’s empty,
barks if she wants my attention,
and barks when a stranger wanders too near,
as if she owns the whole block.

One afternoon in the kitchen,
she just wouldn’t stop.
I figured—alright, food again—
so I scooped her a bowl.
But nope. Still barking her head off.

Curious, I went out to see what was going on.
And there she was—curled up on the sofa,
out cold, not a care in the world.
So… who was in my kitchen?

I was halfway to the car,
still trying to puzzle it out,
when a voice broke in—
“Wake up, Madison, we’re almost late!”

That’s when it hit me—
I’d been chasing a dream all along.
And like life itself,
it showed me that friends may be found anywhere,
but when the truth sinks in,
you see the ones who matter most
are those who’ve stood beside you
through thick and thin.

Barking

the big headed dogs
barking! they are almost dead
they bark here and there

Dogs And Squirrels

the squirrel sensed danger
     quickly it ran up the tree
          helpless the dog barked

Dog-Tired

Used to gad about town as such in my day
but don't get around much anymore
conked out zonked out
(perchance to dream)
I prefer to remain
housebound indoors
yes it's an age-old refrain
my dogs are barking
and my best guess they may really be
completely up the wrong tree entirely 
but my best bet yet feeling my years
(the weight of the world)
I'm in a slump down in the dumps
a pooch too tired to smooch
tho' stooped but healthy hale and hearty
this poor pup's too pooped to party

Barking A Dog

Barking at the dog
One day the dog got angry
I run up a tree.

aunt donna is barking orders

Be you! Yelled Aunt Donna. Laugh! Sing! Play! Dance!
The cat gave her his slow eye, she was ignored by dog Chance.
Be the best you that you can be! She yelled at them. Play I mean Play!
The dog took the hint and began doing a boogie lively and gay.

The cat did not care, no one could motivate her to move a wink.
She slid into a cozy hiding spot under the old kitchen sink
Be you! Yelled Aunt Donna. Be the best you that you can be!
The cat rolled her eyes; didn’t she get it? This is the best me.

Foolish Barking

Bark not on things you can't understand 
And on the things that you can't do;
Don't dive blindly into a water 
Without knowing its depth. 

Just leave a grape when it is sour 
You don't need to bark about its sourness. 
But if you want to have a sweet grape
Better learn to plant your own.

dogs are barking

her sore dogs are barking
tavern wench rests on wine barrel
taking a break away from groping hands
sipping a bit of wine
so she can face the next hour

Foolish Barking

Foolish people spend most of their lives barking about the imperfection of others than trying to compensate their own imperfections

A Grand Barking Contest

There was to be a grand barking contest
To find the dog that barked loud and longest
A man came on his scooter 
Farting loud as a trouper
And said he couldn’t tell a b from an f.

Ask Me Another

Pomeranians bark a lot.
This I know from the one I've got.
As to why this should be so
I must confess I do not know.
