Pet Sonnet - Elli Spring
Shall I compare thee to a faithful hound?
Something you are far from ever being.
Will your good attitude ever be found?
But the sight of you sends people fleeing.
Your behavior continues to astound
Thy loathsome habits that I am seeing
Slimy licks keep friends from coming around.
New tricks and troubles I am foreseeing
Oh Mooney, you are one hairy mistake
But your old teeth are starting to decay.
Please do me a favor, for goodness sake,
And keep your stinky dog breath far away.
So Mooney, as long as you are around
You'll no longer be seeing me in town.
Mooney, thou art a pain in my buttox
Barking loudly at irrelevant things,
When you hear animals, like the red fox,
With vocals so loud, you make my ears ring.
Always sneaking outside the back yard fence,
and digging up holes in the Fletcher's yard.
Sometimes it seems you have no common sense,
Although you really do make a good guard,
Your constant shenanigans make me nuts,
But it is okay because I love you.
Sometimes I may think you are an old mutt,
But no matter what things you get into
You'll still always be my favorite hound,
So please Moon, try to stay out of the pound.
