Best Bulldog Poems

It was not long ago
By the reck'ning of things
You were yet a wee one
Yet under our wing-
Now you have grown up
Like snow follows Spring -
Now you're a Mother,
All Mothers must sing.

All Mothers must sing,
Though not always with voice;
'Tis a matter of Truth,
Not a question of...

No challenge stops her
    stance is set
       shoulders squared

I've been released and free to roam.
You are so wrong, I'm not alone.
I'm glad you read, all that I write.
You mock my work, that's not real bright.

Not very original, your words they lack.
Once again, you're on my back.
Hypocrisy here at it's best.
Your game is weak,...

Swings and hides in the kangaroo court.
The bulldog drops him with one report.
He struggles and fights to stay on his feet.
His fancy footwork skips every beat.

Bob and weave, stick and move.
He floats like a kangaroo with no groove.
Pathetic and weak and nothing original.
He hides in...

Ellington, Ellington, bulldog of mine.
How dare you have the sensitivities so fine?
I’ll get to Grandma-sit you just this one time.
I’ll dress you in robes of purple and lime.

Ellington, Ellington, do your one big trick.
Waddle over here and give me a lick.
You may be the only...

Bill Bulldog was our gorgeous British Bull Dog. We were so lucky to have Bill in our lives for eleven wonderful years. Bill was like no other dog we ever had before. A gentle boy ~ a character!  My granddaughter was always scared of...

Face flush with cold,
She comes, wind laughing at her back
Across our threshold once more, 
In moments it is as though she'd never left.

Every room brightens with her Prescence.
She moves here and there in her easy ways,
Dispelling discontents with artless word as drops of oil
Disperse across...

In late on a late night from a long journey,
Barely in the door 
She's telling funny stories of her own misfortunes.
The comedy of errors that harried her homewards.


The young woman who will always be our child
Has the lot of us laughing
When we should be asleep
At...

Showed her the Chocolate Cake Shot.
She downed it like Life:
All business with her pleasures....

The bulldog said to the poodle... 
"Wow!"..."What a fancy treat!" 
"Today you ain't so lucky", 
"I'm the king on this street!"

"Looks like you lost your way", 
"Now ain't you clean and pretty!" 
"You're 'bout to be a mangled mess", 
"My oh my, what a pity!"...

Old Roxie is dead. She's gone to her bed
Near the drop-off where leaves are decaying.

Yet she rises again from that terrible fen
In a manner grotesque and dismaying.

The grave that we dug, although tidy and snug,
Was too shallow for her to be laying.

So the volatile gas...

There is no specific appearance attributed
to the horrifying Boogeyman, he may resemble 
Windico or diabolic Krampus; these creatures
are spiteful and like to punish only the good kids.
In my childhood he came around and hunted
my longest nights and alone I started to tremble.

The frightening Boogieman was...

Bill Bulldog we had named him 
with his brindle coloured coat
He had the most amazing face
too many wrinkles for one so young
mischievous, cuddly and full of fun

At first the only sounds he made
that first night all alone
heartbreaking cries 
he missed his Mum
He’ll settle soon in...
