ONION
In the tradition of John Hegley (A Three Legged Friend) and Ian McMillan
(My Dog – April is the Cruellest Month) but a tad more dark!
Preparing another luncheon
my eyes are misted in fog
I’m crying chopping up onion
‘tis a silly name for a dog.

Oops! Good write and pic M.
Can you imagine how my friend felt, he married a russian doll?
I'm a fan of naming dogs with everyday human names like Mary and Steve. The only one I have come across was a rottweiler called Dave - true.
We have friends with a dachsund called Sidney and my eldest son who also has a dachsund has called his Mabel.
Should a cat ever allow me to think its mine, i have often imagined i would name him/her 'Brundle' which happens to be the name of the lead role in the remade film 'the fly'.
A pal had a young alsation which he refused to train. He called the dog 'Elgar' after the famous local musician. I so recall the dog ran off one night only to find my pal (who had a very pronounced limp and was slightly intoxicated at the time) hurridly roaming the streets calling out 'ELGAR.... Elgar' in a raised voice. .... How to curry favour with one's neighbors..... i suspect they thought him deranged.
Just been doing that same thing Michael - chopping up onions and crying a string of sob at their sting -- like the pic. of Glenit boiling his kettle - ha ha .
