dusk arising

Jerry the fox terrier

 

 

 

ever since his fur fell out
Jerry the Fox Terrier
knew something
was not quite right

daytimes and walkies
passed without incident
but somnambulism
had overtaken Jerry

forepaws outstretched
eyes firmly closed
up on hind quarters
Jerry moonlighted

each night his skills
seriously advanced
and poetic thoughts
filled nightime delights

his paw skills with pen
and keyboard dexterity
spurred contributions
to \"My Pawetic Sighs\"

regularly published
he felt quite at home
for every dog knows
all poets are barking



(for non Brits, saying someone is \'barking\' is a colloquial Brit way of saying they are barking mad or insane

Oh and somnambulism is sleep walking)
