The Sound of a Dog Barfing at Six A.M.
Whatever it was sat ill in his tummy.
His tummy said, "No, dummy, that wasn’t yummy.
I’m sending it backwards to make you feel crummy."
I'm no poet. But there's just something about stepping in slimy dog puke at six o'clock in the morning that will inspire verse or curse, whichever is most handy on the tip of the tongue. This rolled out of my mouth last week in the heat of a very outraged dog rescue moment, and I made the mistake of sharing it with The Writers' Block. Well, naturally they made me post it. Because that's what we do--we post things we write. Even silly things, like this. But hey. If it brings a smile, maybe it's worth it. I can't be the only person in the world who rolled out of bed to stop the vomiting dog before he vomited, and put my foot down just a moment too late.
Thanks to @damianjayclay for indulging me in an edit of this silly thing, and to the folks at @thewritersblock who were kind enough to not ban me for shitpost-spamming general chat in that moment of profound frustration. LOL
posting that some people it is a silly thing, but I do not think, because it reminds us that we should keep our favorite animals better, lest they become sick due to lack of our accuracy in keeping them. keep the spirit to love them,because they need you.
They do need us. For sure. I have some dogs here in rescue who would eat butcher knives if I let them.
good, because you are a good dog
eew! Yuck! Sorry about the puke
We both survived. LOL But thank you.
We don't just post things we write. We workshop them--which you did--THEN we post them.
I love it. Not the sick dog, but you doing poetry!
Is it even really poetry, though? Just a silly little rhyme. Although I do admit, I'm still laughing at it, even now. It is kinda cute.
