Gnashing, gnawing, snapping, clawing
White bristles & patches stained black mauve Sniffing, panting, barking, darting Tent ears, eyes old, stinking tongue, water nose Close to earth, towering tiny noble brat We can still hear the pitter pat Tap dancing nails Across the patio flat Shrill WOOF! Protector fierce Trembling growl, jowl dripping Down the lane echo Paws come tripping, tripping, tripping Dancing with the dolly Tear her to pieces Curious folly; Rolling in faeces. Broken Nature’s Law Unwombed mother Your miserable man-made dirty flaw Limbs stiff, whiskers grey Gorby sits on your head Mushed up food Far too much! Overfed! Bright sad eyes resign Dark knowing Spirit flies Seeming floating Car shrieking Breaking slow Snap Crunch Neck Whine Dog-wanting-death complicity This, the story of our Bold Fearless Mutt: "Whiskey" R.I.P. Whiskey O' Connell 1987 - 2001 ...Small dog, big attitude.
