Long In the doghouse Poems

You had that future retro look:  two thousand seventeen,
There was a slow and sultry permanence, a little slouchy lean
As you eased out of the taxi before it shot off to the right,
Who could have...

I am the Project Air Bridge, 
The veritable virus lord-cum-felon of duty fraud.
Fumaye's privileged his bridge that projects pompous airs.
Maelstrom, mammon coextend where it forks and fares.

Cispontine pandemia profiteerings peak. 
Lip...

Training them is just a game
Of a lot of patience and

Teaching them what's right and wrong
But training can be very long
If they're stubborn and wont do
What...

I once had a fluffy white dog take my hand
He was born a Maltese and was very well cared for
He was my every world, my one and only, all over this land

Upon this floor I sit, 
huggin' the porcelain bowl;
My stomach's tied in knots, 
Feels like I'm gonna blow!

to have another drink!

One led to...

Our War Dogs are heroes but they're treated so bad
They're "in the doghouse" which really is sad.

The unequaled loyalty which they provide
When their handlers are wounded, they stay by their side.

We scratched and scrapped and piled it together,
thin as cobwebs, like molted bird feathers,
spread out on the frozen lawn,
a gossamer frosting in early dawn,
a meager, stingy December snow,
hardly enough to foster a glow

into the flesh in a red China 
plate. He
sucks on a daydream. Fetters

We’ll Ride a Horse Down Rocky Path

We’ll ride a horse down rocky path
Fall in love in the aftermath
Well do-si-do and do it right
Me and honey can dance all night

Roll away to a half sashay

Don in the Doghouse

By Elton Camp

Don had a wife who was easily offended
If her wishes weren’t immediately tended

In the doghouse his time was mainly spent
Since out of shape his wife was often bent

Poor Don finally...

I’m in the doghouse now 
I’m out singing with the cows 
Well I made my baby mad 
And I’m feeling rather sad 
I’m in the doghouse now 

I’m in the doghouse now 
I’m in trouble...
