Dachshunds
Dachshunds
Charming pair of brave dachshunds,
Possessive and stubborn,
Grew up with my only son,
Always jealous of my love for him,
Playing games with lot of wit,
Full of humour they were a perfect fit,
Till a day burglars broke into the house,
Defying their skills of suspicion and hunt,
Took away one along with them,
The other kept digging the garden in search of him,
No praise or treats could console,
Even the police failed to prove their role,
We all died each day with rising passion,
Loneliness had turned into obsession,
Till the other disappeared too the other day,
after turning garden into a heap of clay,
Parting was unbearable to our hearts,
Teary eyes, grief tore our souls apart,
Comical clowns that gave us smiles,
Must have found peace or travelled miles,
Memories haunt and turn to torrents,
Lost are the lively days with Dachshunds !
