Years back his most loyal friend drew his last breath
His four-legged 'Pal' met the Angel of Death
Lovingly, did he place his tail-wagger in his earthly grave
Under a heart-emblazoned stone, farewell he waved...
Now his turn to meet his Maker has come around
Yet he has no interest in a burial in the ground
It's cremation for him, ashes scattered to the wind
Leaving the Almighty perplexed and chagrined

My Doberman Pinscher won best of show
and was strutting around like a peacock.
One judge was none too pleased and let me know,
while scrutinizing my dog like a hawk.
She was a sarcastic bitter old prune,
treating both me and my dog with disdain.
And swore he'd be stripped of his standing soon,
she preferred the Schnauzer, and made that plain.
Unfortunately, as dogs often do
he lifted his leg and started to pee.
Her shoe would have to do, since there’s no loo,
and it got a resounding laugh from me.
After sullying this finger-wagger,
he walked with a champion's swagger.

I sure wish that I had a tail.
High-boned cheeks and wide eyes would pale
if I'd a wagger.
You may think me awfully vain.
Forgive me, but I'm just sayin'
looks seem to matter.
