Thoughts of a Border Collie While Pondering a Bone

Thoughts of a Border Collie While
Pondering a Bone

Mine, mine, mine, I think
as I drip drool on the floor.
Bloody meat clings
tenaciously to the hard bone.
White fat, like veins of gold,
marbles the red treat.
My owner is thawing this delicious
delicacy on the counter.
I watch and wait with longing
as I think of the animal odor.
Sharp canines will soon tear
and rend all from the cow’s femur.
My probing tongue will pull the tangy, 
succulent marrow from its hiding place.
When all has been eaten, it will
become my favorite chew toy as
I will gnaw, gnaw, gnaw until not
one atom remains.
Then I will lay back in the cool shade
and realize I am a lucky dog.

my astounding collie

I keep my dog’s talents all to myself
An organizer, he puts things on a big shelf
Files my taxes, sends them in too.
Taking as a reward my husband’s left shoe.

He sorts my cupboards, and my large pantry.
How much more helpful can a collie be?
Did I mention that he drives me to work and back daily.
And sings karaoke at a place called Goo Gaily.

BESS OUR COLLIE CROSS FRIEND

A pet no one would ever trade
Such loyalty of the lasting,loving kind
Her memory now in cross-stitch made
No replacement,were we to ever find
Still,now in our memory-bank entwined.

The Collie She'D Heard Of

Alone in the forest
    at the mercy of sound
  no lean-to for shelter, nor
    bed of leaves on the ground

  wind cracks through the brambles
    rain’s icy fingers reach in
  to magnify doubts and concerns
    of faraway kith, distant kin

  when of a sudden the collie
    she’d heard of appeared
  nuzzled up to her and 
    with that ~ disappeared

A Loyal Collie

A loyal collie on Chesapeake Bay
worked for his keep—if he wanted to stay
But when told: Hurry, you slob!
he laid down on the job
dreaming of running through meadows all day

Theatrical Collie

There is an acting coach in Battle Creek
Who taught his theatrical collie to speak
Now portraying King Lear
He’s Time’s Dog Of The Year
And stars in Lassie Call Home in a week

The Collie and I

Red

It was a cool, Spring night.
We lit the fireplace, a cozy sight.
Red, my collie, a double for Lassie,
Nuzzled up for a treat, his saucer
shaped eyes, ah!
So very warm and so classy.

I went to the kitchen, glowing
amber from the flames,
Here came Red, his treat to claim.
Ah~ a scene of peace if there 
ever was one,
For with Red, you see.... 
I experienced happiness and the
most perfect affection and serenity.

Collie

Truly loved him ever since he was young
That brown Collie is my sweet pet of mine
Lovely to look at when he shows his tongue
Don’t let him mad if he shows his rare fang.
Running nowhere in an old street line
He is there during my difficult times.
Doesn't talk but I feel his one great love
Our bond is as strong as these sweet chimes
Sweet as those most unforgettable limes,
My brown Collie is a gift from above!

My Merle Collie

I had a Merle collie, Cindy was her name;
She was sleek and beautiful, football was her game.
She'd play with a ball for hours, her skills were quite refined,
She would even head it to me if she felt so inclined.

We climbed a mountain range, one cold and wintry day;
She dashed around everywhere, how she loved to play.
When she reached the summit she flopped down out of breath,
I couldn't leave her lying there freezing half to death!
I carried her down the other side, my she weighed a ton!
Afterwards it seemed worthwhile seeing her having fun.

Chow / Collie Mix

My Tasha Girl happens to be
a mix of both Chow and Collie
and I suppose it's largely due because I'm the guardian of she
that I don't see Tasha Girl as a mutt or other cross breed.
In my eyes she's so beautiful and a breed all her own so unique
and strangers also have been captivated by my Tasha Girl's beauty.

Don't believe me?
Her photos are in my blog for all to see.

Topper the Roofing Border Collie

I would like to thank you for your visit.
I have removed these poems for a distant future book publication.
I believe we poets, can make a difference
in this world. We live in the 21st century,
we have tools( technology), we have our past,  and imagination.
We just don't have the courage, because
I guess most are afraid to fail, to loose money.
All I have to say is we can't take money with us,
when we die. I also say hasn't mankind failed enough,
and isn't mankind worth the effort, our children is worth the effort..

Thank you, and my your God Bless you
