Max was voted the favorite in my last post, so here is a poem about him for you as promised. For those of you who voted for something else, I will also write a poem about the pool fence and perhaps eventually some of the other pictures I posted, so stay tuned, if you are interested. Thanks to all of you for voting!
Max the Poodle
With a well-aimed snout,
arranging the pillows;
rooting.
Tugging, lifting, scratching, scooting.
Max the poodle makes a nest
of throw pillows on the couch.
Max the poodle needs to rest
He's a worker, not a slouch.
Finally, with them placed just so,
he climbs up to the top.
Gives a sigh, stretches out,
lies down with a flop.
Max the poodle makes a nest
of throw pillows on the couch.
Max the poodle needs to rest.
He's a worker, not a slouch.
A quick three hour nap,
and then, ready to go again.
Time to bark! "Mailman's here!"
Max always tells us when.
Max the poodle makes a nest
of throw pillows on the couch.
Max the poodle needs to rest.
Max the poodle needs to rest.
He's a worker, not a slouch.
All that barking's done him in.
A dog's day is long and hard,
but when let outside,
he summons strength
to chase a squirrel through the yard!

of throw pillows on the couch.
Max the poodle needs to rest
He's a worker, not a slouch.
"Time to eat. Feed me please,
and then we'll play fetch the ball."
I can't say no to those big brown eyes.
(He snuggles close with just a call!)
Max the poodle makes a nest
of throw pillows on the couch.
Max the poodle needs to rest
He's a worker, not a slouch.
Love wrapped up
in curly fur,
in curly fur,
feels so soft to the touch.
Hard to believe a dog,
who does so little,
who does so little,
can yet mean oh so much.

of throw pillows on the couch.
