She has a fever.
I leave her dozing fitfully on the veranda.
Halfway to the woods there is a farm gate
where she will often squat
and piss.
The grass is brown, but still thrives,
strangely adapted to uric rain.
Paris the giant poodle is here,
his nose...Read More

There once was a bulldog named Champ 
Who loved to go up and down a ramp
Just for fun they built him one 
To stay fit he would go up it
They asked the tech 
“did you do this so Champ would...Read More

Ellington, Ellington, bulldog of mine.

I’ll get to Grandma-sit you just this one time.
I’ll dress you in robes of purple and lime.

Waddle over here and give me a...Read More

Gargoyles, gargoyles, in the air,
it sets my heart to fright,
flying on their leathery wings
through the Stygian night.

Gargoyles, gargoyles, I can see
when they emerge from stone,
eyes glowing blue in the darkness
as endlessly they roam.

Most will say that I’m a madman,
see ghosts...Read More

My gorgeous sweet Bill Bulldog
There will never be another
So handsome was his visage
A phizog loved only by his mother 
For some folks thought him ugly
And shied away in fear
Never gave a second glance
Never coming near
But first impressions can be wrong
For...Read More

I saw a child on a play yard swing
And my soul soared with fervent joy.
As precious memories came flooding back
To when I was just a boy.

When on a sweltering summer day
My shirt and shoes were often first to go.
Since nothing...Read More

The Bulldog Turns 30

Welcome to the days you shall not for long in life recall.
Welcome to the days you will with but one song recall.

These days are sharply bright, more so in their deeply falling nights
Shall pass in silence, sequestering...Read More

Kissing For Beginners.

Do you recall your first kiss
That was supposed to fill you with heavenly bliss
But filled you with nervous anticipation
It looked simple enough on telly
But I had butterflies in my belly

I hated girls when I was a kid
I’d rather...Read More

A bulldog was having a day so fine
The weather was scrumptious simply divine!

The pony came upwind, scared him to death.
He must have fallen into load of meth.

Bulldog’s eyes watered, he thought he might cry.
Cat and bunny wandered rapidly by.

Bunny was...Read More

We star it off with Ben Franklin,
American renaissance man,
whose industry and sharp wit
made him the richest in the land.
Lived out an American dream
before the country ever was,
entertained with his writings and
helped discover scientific law.
Pushed hard for independency
and helped form the...Read More

Whilst walking by the sea at the very crack of dawn
An early morning saunter on this special Christmas morn

Something caught my eye just as I meandered by
It was different, it was still, had it fallen from the sky

As I got...Read More

A shanty-man from a shanty-town came by shanty-boat to Shanty-Round.
He was the newest man in this Shanty-village, we felt was a town.
His middle was solid and amazingly thick.
And his hairy neck was blistered, and brick-like, this Nick.

His face and hair...Read More

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...Read More

Our dog is relaxing for the first time in almost eighteen hours.
The interloper is finally gone.

Yes, I am referring to the...Read More

The Bulldog Has Become A Mom

A blink ago she was our babe in arms;
Then turn around; and there the smiling girl -
Around again - the strong young woman,
Then wed, and another shares her charms.
Now she strides through life, our perfect...Read More

Somewhere in Brussels, March 2019,
Poor Theresa’d not slept since about Halloween,
But at last it was ready! The dream Brexit treaty,
Which pleased every spluttering zealot so sweetly!

So ready to sign it, she tried not to squeal...
Until Boris* burst in and cried...Read More

And artistically played out on midsummers eve, an ethereal night, it would seem.
Her parents, and grands were dressed in full colonial faerie attire. They were easy
To pick out, whispering...Read More

Churchill's appeal reflects a unique parentage
combining  American and British heritage.

Winston Churchill, diplomat, lived with criticism,
Britain’s unstoppable prime minister showed
bulldog tenacity coupled with optimism.

His determination was revolutionary
His optimism  looked beyond the problem.
Surrender was not in this man's vocabulary.
In his...Read More

Please do not start a big fight
Because I will only bite
Like a bulldog on a bone
Leaving you lost and alone
I did not do what you heard
You're being very absurd
Faithful and true I have been
I have never given in
To any flirty...Read More
