My little guy to my happy surprise
is with me still and very spry
His heart pills keep him ticking on
personality of his still is strong
He loves to growl and bark all day
for him it is the way he plays
the thing he loves most of all
is when I scratch his chest he is enthrall
It relaxes him and keeps him calm
never enough keep scratching on and on
The old guy walks the perimeter of the fence
sniffs to know whose been whence
About every couple of feet or so
Genghis lifts his leg and lets it go
He makes his mark to claim it all
and mosey about walking tall
Old Kublai used to follow him on his tail
mark over his mark as Genghis he trailed
As if he had to mask Genghis's scent with his own
for Genghis's claim Kublai disowned
I miss my Kublai they were a funny pair
But now I have sweet Sassy dear
She sits and watches Genghis from finish to start
as that silly old boy, Genghis makes his mark.

Sassy and Genghis they now get along
Sassy liked Kublai but he is now gone
Old Genghis still a little grouch
he growls at Sassy if she joins him on the couch
Sassy will at times kiss him and sniff his little face
when he is behind her sneaking a sniff takes place
Under the desk Genghis loves to hide and stay
when she crawls to greet him he growls her away
If on the bed Genghis cautious for Sassy rolls
he will yap at her and even hide behind pillows
Treat time Sassy gobbles hers right away
Genghis takes his time teasing her all day
Sassy lies down in front of him whimpering and whines
Genghis growls and wags his tail taking his sweet time
Though Genghis is little and Sassy twice as big
she never angers toward him is playful instead
She will steal his treat right under his nose
when playing keep away stay on your toes
They love barking together at anything in sight
they are more amusing than causing a fright.
Sometimes Sassy will sleep beside him
and Genghis is okay.
Without our sweet Sassy
Genghis would be lonely every day.

I had never seen a goat that grinned wider than Genghis Gone
His grin was something you could hang a small firefighter on
We watched him smile at the birds, the sheep and the sky.
Why is he so happy? We asked ourselves, truly wondering why.

Isis terrifies with sound and sight
in a kaleidoscopic way she mesmerizes me
I focus on her red lips
She seems ghoulish
Someone to be feared
The ruler of not one planet
But of lots of realms
Possibly ruler of the universe
Her nipples are prominent
There is a swirl of activities
She is a theme of love, by herself
Dancers from India swiftly change into a windmill sun
She is Genghis Khan personified, and I am frightened

Two little fat boys running with the wind
barking and playful tails a waggin
Kublai has a smile Genghis has his growl
silly little doggies remain best friends
Kublai with short legs trots around the yard
long legged Genghis leaps to feel in charge
If you pet Kublai Genghis begins to yap
he will try to push Kublai out of your lap
Rolli polli doggies rolling on their backs
little paws waving Genghis barks and snaps
Kublai is a mouth breather somewhat loud
Genghis with his big ears he folds and flaps
The Genghis and the Kublai I had for six years
they make me smile and laugh myself to tears
Funny little doggies so different yet the same
my home is full of love and little doggie games

His ears peak up and his tail is straight
The innocent pedestrian will meet his fate
Within a blink of an eye
The mighty Genghis flies
With a yap of lightning glee
And the grace of gazelle speed
The poor person jumps in fright
As Genghis continues to bark in delight
Leaping and snapping within the fence
The little black dog appeared from whence
His tail is wagging his white teeth glare
The pedestrian can only stop and stare
An embarrassed chuckle and loose smile
Genghis barks and barks constant and loud
The person leaves on his way
While Genghis yapping echos through the day
The little tiger scratches the ground with hind feet
Another unexpected soul met his defeat
Tail in the air and one last growl
Genghis guards his fence loud and proud.

bouncing to be held
fury tiny ball of fur
screeching in yelps
how can one so tiny
explode into a mountain of joy
tail wagging as fast as the humming bird flies
hurt expression of worry in tiny dot eyes
wanting only to be held and lick my face
and dance dance around and round all over the place
silly little black dog
silly little black dog
jumps ten feet high
jumps so high you swear he flies
when you hold this tiny ticking bomb
your hug soothes him into calm
its hard to believe when we first met
he ran away afraid and unkept
but one day he sniffed my hand
and somehow we both understand
the dog picked me to be his man
and i accept him is my true little friend
