Long Rottweiler Poems

The Rottweiler

I wouldn’t provoke a Rottweiler
Not unless I were prepped like a miler
Seems a little inbreeding
Done without heeding
Has turned Benji into a Sieg Heiler

The Saint Bernard

Though not in his nature to beg
He would flip for...

I was walking through a wood, trees to the right-hand side of me on a slope -
upwards; rocks to the left-hand side of me, sloping down towards a lake.  As I 
walked along, I...

OK another adventure in the mad poet’s life,
This occurred just before I met Jane, my imaginary wife.
Jane’s brother, Glen had set me up with a blind date
He said the girl was a stunner, I could...

Roxy as the loudest rottweiler in Waterbury, an historic town in Connecticut,
Roxy was a vigilante dog, which never let a stranger or a burglar in;
once this ranch home was a haven, thanks for the love...

'Whiskers'! That's who we called him and he passed through once a year
with his swag and billy; this time with a 'heeler' dog close near.
Our 'oldies' always said when 'Whiskers' camped beside the creek,
to keep...

You want to know about it
The bad memories, the pain
Ok just wait for a bit
Ill have to jig it out my brain

It happened in the middle of May
Glen my friend was off to Spain
I remember...

Here let me paint you a drawing
My skin crawling
Something stirring and calling
As the leaves begin falling
It's appalling
That people are always squabbling
And gossiping
Yet another mauling
It's no longer enthralling
The temperature of the water freezing or scalding
People aging,...

It was an early September storm,
Jackson the Pug, didn't have a thing to do
so he found an old comic book
about a Super Hero who wore a cape,

He climbed up into his favorite easy chair
and began...

to say that rumor has it
is to say that the World Trade Center
collapsed silently and cleanly like 
oppositely sexed Siamese twins
who discovered they could mate
I had all channels going full bore
aiming at involuntary insemination
with the...

The neighbours went off on their yearly vacation,
Off to visit some foreign nation.
Leaving me keys and a list a mile long, 
To watch their pets. What could go wrong?

The rottweiler is a gentle soul
As long...

Life is full of surprises,
as you recognize your fear.
An adrenaline fueled 
fight or flight puts 
your behind in gear.

You’d like to think
that you are brave.
You have no problem
facing fear.
But you have a funny feeling
When it...

I hate parking in supermarket car parks,
with scrapes and dents, or scratches common place.
They’re a request to join demolition derby, 
and some of the parking is a damn disgrace.

To find a parking space at times...

Though the time has come 
To say good bye
The bond we share
Will never die.

You were my friend
Yet so much more
You walked on two
I ran on four.

You touched my heart
And made me feel
A simple love
I knew...

My friend Meg was leaving for a week-long vacation
And struggling hard to provide for her congregation:
With a horse, two dogs, one cat and a bird
You might as well say she had a whole herd

I arrived...

Her nickname "'sunshine" where she worked, 
She's always smiling, some confide.
She has a certain lilting perk 
Of hidden beauty deep inside. 

Her journey home was twenty miles 
Of mostly dark, forbidding streets, 
Of tenements and...

A Rottweiler  Shepard mix
longsuffering had proven to be
With the Doberman pup, a red one,
won on a gambling spree

Rocky the mix and BoBo
 coexisted for a time
As any two male dogs can manage
till BoBo reached...

A Giant

There is an unknown legend that comes
 from the great Black  Forest 
 of a creature fearsome and oh, so glorious.

Though his brain be small 
 and barely larger than a walnut

I arrive at my job site 1-1 1/2 hours early 
every work day as a rule generally. 
I relax on a public bench with my container of coffee
while I psych myself to prepare for the...

[Postscript: Ah, the vagaries of English. In England, your bum is your bottom... not the scruffy bloke who lives in your shed!]

Sit down for breakfast, we’ve got...

foot in a blender
skin sliced thin, jagged
bicycle spokes spinning
how i learned to wear shoes

dad’s rottweiler-yelling
as mom assesses
claustrophobic on commode

dinner would get cold
cut into throat, nose, neck, spine*
red beets**

heel to toes ice cold
perched and prepared
by ER...

Brutus, my slavering Rottweiler, growls
He knows he's tougher than pooches with tails
The long pointed studs on his black leather collar
Are matched by his canines which make poodles holler

The drooling saliva that trails from his jaws
As...

Bitter words spew out of your well-polished poison pen
Insult me, go on belittle me with your vile vitriolic venom
Think you are better than me – hell no way!
Every word that spills from your pathetic pen...

dogs on vacation filling up the beach with warm barks
dobermans, german shepherds, prissy poodles that cause sparks

excited corgis begin a volley ball game; this...
