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

A Yorkshire terrier in Coral Gables
should be honored in Aesope’s Fables
When a brat stole her bone
she ate his snow cone
Moral: Your victim just might turn the tables!

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.

My Favorite Animal
A Dog
Yorkshire Terrier
My Dog Peanut
A standard Yorkie over sixteen pounds,
Long silky ash coat with beautiful brown
Blond mane. Fast, energetic, never down
Especially if there squirrels around.
Gentle and playful; friendly yet spunky;
Always wants to play. Loves loud squeaky toys,
Newspapers, cardboard one of his mixed joys.
A purse unwatched, he can be too sneaky.
He will go and explore and like a cat,
Jumps on the sofa, coffee table, chair
Or on my bed where we share to sleep there.
Visits the neighbors for mere pats and chat.
He is my pet, but also my dear friend
From morning dawn arise 'till night descend.

Willy, the Rat Terrier
He nibbles on my nose.
Why? Heaven only knows!
Each tooth feels like a pin.
I need much thicker skin!
Yet Willy, the rat terrier,
could not be any merrier.
After a bath or stroll
he sprints around the whole
apartment like a race
car driven by an ace
who’d swallowed too much speed.
(Perhaps it’s just his breed
that is to blame for that.)
He’s like a mad preschooler
who drank from the wine cooler
and got so hugely gassed,
runs so awful fast,
is such an acrobat,
a poor rat would have no shot
at evading such a tot.
I wouldn’t like to be
that rat, believe you me!
He’d shake it side to side
until the critter died,
which would be just as quick
as death by a dropped brick.
Even a swift hare
wouldn’t have a prayer!
Yet the only life this brat
has so far ever seized
was neither hare nor rat,
but the schnoz from which I’ve sneezed.

look me in my eyes but dont show signs of fear
call me with a whistle thats how i know your here
walk me with conviction and hold your head up high
because for you and only you, you know that i will die
if you feed me when im hungry and rub my head and chest
i will protect you to the end with my last dieing breath
people call me vicious and say that im no good
but a heart of a true pit bull is something they never understood
i use to fight for you and you knew i never quit
i never understood why you threw me in that pit
its time for you to take a stand and speak in my stead
because a pit without its owner might as well be dead
loyalty to our owner was our only goal in mind
our stories told through history in books and over time
the "pit" is our domain where we matched in dirt and mudd
and whence the chain came of our necks our breed was forged in blood
when we crossed that line a cur you will not see
because a dog that turns its tail is dog that will not be
this was our way of life this was also our creed
without the game in us you have lost the entire breed
