Full of dashing and daring and bustle
With engine on race
And the world left to chase
Any wonder he makes such a fussle?...

should be honored in Aesope’s Fables
When a brat stole her bone
she ate his snow cone

Knowing he will sound the alarm in morning sunbeams
My rat terrier awakes with a start, dreams gone, new part...

The terrier can't be worst terrier
Time can be carrier
And you are my merrier

A Man from Korea

There was a vicious man from Korea,
Who was as pugnacious as a Terrier,
He said, “As Korea is one,
Division must be none,
I will liquidate if there is any such barrier.”...

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!

Yankee Doodle
had a poodle,
and its name was Tony.
He fed this dog on fish and chips
and lots of macaroni.

lacks a poodle.
Now he has a terrier.
Every day it learns new tricks.
The more it learns, the merrier....

He kept him but had to get rid of his wife, of whom he was no longer fond....

Mad dog madness
Waiting to bite
Feel the crazy air
Fangs now strike

See fierce eyes glow
Demonic beast
Feeding on fear
Unrelenting

Bull terrier persistence
Going for jugular
Mad lunatic fancy
Madness devours

My dog, Happy,was a a Wire Haired Fox Terrier.
To Happy, in life, there no was such thing as a barrier!
Twas a lesson for me, I think, looking back, 
Let nothing stop me from forging ahead.
Not people, not fear, nor doubts. 
Just get off my duff, stop sniveling,
And leap out with joy out of bed.

A bulldog, spaniel and terrier played a game of pool.
Relieving me of my money and kibble. I felt like a fool.
They saw my T-bone and started to be salivating a drool.
I offered to trade them for the kibble, trick kind of cruel.
The T-bone had been enchanted by a devilish ghoul.
Never trust a Maine coon cat is a very good dog rule....

With every terrier and spaniel around
Bow wowing your noble grace!

I bet he's up there, his nag astride, 
Ferret in sack, terrier by side.
I bet he's up there charming a lass, 
Ciggy in gob and mild in glass.
I bet he's up there seeing united win, 
Hollering and swearing " get it in".
I bet he's up there happy at last, 
No pain no shame no regrets of the past.
I bet he's up there smirking at us, 
Ye silly buggers whats all this fuss....

I sat at my desk, watching my terrier paw pillows
on my bed in order to make a nest.

I said to my terrier, "If I had the money, I would build
a fine tunnel from the bedroom
to your own dog-den, a safe area of rest.

There, you could sometimes go and live dog life
at dog's life best."

I beamed at her with my suggested benevolence.

My terrier then collapsed into my pillows-
Unimpressed....

Angel
You never leave my side

Even when I sleep 
At my feet - you always abide

Angel I have no other friend
Quite as loyal as you

You are my one and only pink pooch
My little (supposed to be white) terrier cross

You are Angel by name - and by nature
I will always keep you - my Angel - by my side
