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)

Thank u sir, gotta have a laugh in here sometimes or it can get heavy.
Very true.
Oh lol, good write and pic D A.
So what does Fido think? Does he think we are all barking too?
Very Droll DA we both loved it PIC & POEM ! Are you vying with STEVES (Orchidees) FIDO for the cutest Canine on MPS ? My (BRIAN) Sister has a Fox Terrier and (when active) they are of all Dogs most cute ! Thanks for caring ~ hope Jerry stops decomposing (shedding hair) and keeps on composing for *MY PAWETIC SIGHS* ~ AMEN !
Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOURS
Love ANGELA & BRIAN 💛💛💛💛💛
Thanks for commenting ... just a bit of fun from me today to lighten the atmosphere now and again.
Brilliantly done to my delight!
Always appreciate your wonderful light!
Keep an eye out for him. He wanders off at night.... he's even started using the gents toilets.... stands at the urinals..... do you think i'm feeding him right?
Maybe try him off the beer & on to spirits, it will help him with all that leaking!
A delightful write. I suppose it's about the poet's temperament, our triumphs and travails. But please try to shoo us away from our madness and see what gives!
Thanks for looking in and sharing the fun Seek. I'm tempted to tell more of Jerry's adventures in the future.
I enjoyed this immensely. Great poem.
Thanks xeina, just a bit of fun to relieve the depths of despair so often written on MPS.
Woah a fantastic poem with fine pun on behalf of a doggy yay wow! I like your great word choice too. Kudos for a super muse , certainly not a doggerel.
