A nudist  appears very jolly,
but only when patting his collie,
the dog's on his lap,
but not for a nap -
she's licking his bits like a lolly!...

There once was a hunter named Frawley
Who lived in a shack, outside Raleigh.
His dog, funny but true,
Would only hunt honeydew.
The dog was a true melon collie....

A beautiful white and collie Friendly
always standing by,guarding the front door
She got sick,so deathly ill
We had to put her down

Such loyalty of the lasting,loving kind
Her memory now in cross-stitch made

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

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

Queenly, graceful movements
Quality is superb
Quick as a wink to calls
Qualified to herd cows
Quintessential dog
Quietly she loves me

The grass was wet with dew

Beneath her bare feet

She could not stop now

Not even to eat

Her collie was running wild

As this place was brand new

She caught up with him

He was chasing a cat

It was painted on a Subaru

On the left side of the hatch...

REALLY?  WELL RALEIGH!

There once was a man from Raleigh
Who liked to share food with his collie
 On his knees one day,
               while bent over the tray,
                   it bit off his nose    by golly

...................................................

My collie dog,
a mellon she has
 seen, there...
her feeling very
    Jolly...

my collie ate
 that mellon,
was filled with...
 melancholy,
  somehow...

Now my collie in her
 grave, for this...
mellon proved too
 sour, now there...
on her gravestone,
     appears
a Melon-Cauliflower...

You must remember Rocko’s wife I say to my husband.
Not really, my husband replies, maybe I never met her.
She had a hawk-like nose, I say. Real Beak-y.
And a collie dog face.
He gives me a look.
Her hips were enormous; they moved funny.
He gives me a sharper look.  I feel judged.
She was a pretty girl, I say. 
He is wisely silent....

My summertime Muses are wearing the jolly
Still decking “the halls with boughs of holly,”
Eschewing everything droll and melancholy
Chanting a happy tune from “Hello, Dolley.”
Helping me deal with a rambunctious collie
Singing ad alta voce “Good Golly, Miss Mollie,”
As I sink to dabble in foolish, but hilarious, folly.

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....

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....

We went to the S.P.C.A.
We  got a puppy today.
A tuxedo fur of black and white
sox to match what a sight.
A mix of boarder collie and black lab
He`s quite a handsome lad.
We stopped at the Walmart store.
bought him a collar and few things more.
He checked out his new home
He even found his toy bone.
He`s the joy of our life
He`s in his "forever home" the rest of his life...

My second dog Molly 
Is a beautiful border collie

She’s submissive 
Quick to give
Ahhh so many kisses!
You’ll never believe.

I know it’s innocent 
But does she have to
Lick my face 
As well as chook poo?

I wish she knew that 
It’s disgusting 
Even the crap of the cat
Just give me warning!

She’s nearly ten
She will never learn 
Guess I’ll have to 
Put up with it then :(...

We adopted our dog Bess
Collie-cross,black & white,no less;
Perfect in temperament,ready to please
Walking her,my mind at ease.

Each night to her bean bag she crept
In the kitchen , cosy,she slept;
Welcomed all with wagging tail
Without faults,she could not fail.

A pet no one would ever trade
Her memory now in cross-stitch made;
Loyalty of the lasting,loving kind
No replacement,were we to find....
