There’s a cordial, mild tempered shih tzu
Who spends her spare time learning jujitsu
Attacked by a terrier
She kicked his big dereeair
And yelped: That black eye you have really fits you!

A novice pet store clerk named Keatcue
Was told by a client to have a Shih-Tzu.
The clerk thought that a personal smear,
And barked insults into the client’s ear
Thus putting himself into deep Shih-Tzu doo....

Saddened by the loss of my sister’s dog who won everyone’s heart.

RIP PEPPER

On a day not quite warm, he shuts his eyes.
Tears release. Life moves too fast.
Shih Tzu with wings takes flight

a gold leaf moon - gilds the night

and dwarfs the stars - in the sky

in the pale glow - of her face

scores of bat pups - learn to fly

trees tend to blush - once they're kissed
by Jack frost's lips - cold as ice
late in the night - red dyes bleed
and blood stained leaves - pay the price

bare trees stand nude - in the woods 
stripped of their leaves - by a breeze
as the wind whips - through a veil
of dried out twigs - with such ease


(Double Ch’i- Yen-Shih)

Known by many as a Shih Tzu
All by itself, in it's own cage
One is a zoo, could it be true?
I know what it is, at this stage

All by itself, in it's own cage
With a cute little smashed in face
I know what it is at this stage
They are the same, the breed and place

With a cute little smashed in face
One is a zoo, could it be true?
They are the same, the breed and place
Known by many as a Shih Tzu...

Listen to poem:

***A feeble attempt at 'Ch'i Yen Shih'


An eye-filled train
that--enhance,
A glimpse within,
hearts--romance,

Up and down eyes,
rolls--around,
Graceful wink, that's
heaven--bound,

View has cast a
smile---pleasant, 
Those eyes must be,
heaven-sent,

Soothing sense sweet
eyes---imparts,
Silent glance, oaths
fall from-hearts.

When you're burgling, awareness is best;
When he saw her, he thought 'twas in jest.
Forgetting the shih tzu,
Or Granny's jujitsu,
Both his shirt and some charges were pressed.

Theft and laundering just do not pay,
Not when Granny is holding the spray.
Got starched for his error,
He stiffened in terror;
Slapped with irons, they took him away.

My auntie purchased a great dane,
That mutt really drives her insane
When it does a poop,
It won’t fit the scoop,
Her husband’s now hired a crane 

They also have got a Shih Tzu
It constantly poops in her shoe
She abhors the critter
Cos it’s not a quitter
Their house is just littered with pooh
 
My Saluki’s a naughty pet
Last Monday he peed on the vet
Who was a trainee
And very brainy
I’m sorry his trousers got wet!
