The Tale of Brulee
As she lay there, on the rear seat
of his truck like that ..
Her wheaten coat, did catch
the first few rays of our new spring
and damn me ..
If she did not look near golden ..
Just like
the burnished cloak of some
high Aztec priest he thought ..
And even from
that distance, he needed Ray Bans
for the glare ..
While she, did either feel or hear
or smell
the breeze of him approaching ..
And her rudder
started flapping both to and fro
and here to there ……….......... x

Is it a dog?.... is it a plane?...... is it a bird?...... It's Batgirl..... no.... I digress......
Well Neville once again an engmatic challenge... I've read it three times and I can't get the image of a golden retriever laid on the back seat out of my mind. Wagging it's rudder of a tail.
A dog's tail can be the most destructive article known to mankind in the wrong circumstances.
Cheers DA .. she's a Border Terrorist .. was hoping to post a pic but for some reason am unable 🙂
Dogs know how to enjoy themselves, as the thirst for life shows. I just tell mines he's chipped, so he can take himself out and get lost and then found. lol
Don't they just ............................... cheers Paul ......................................... N 🙂
And as the truck moved off, there would be no more laying around. The joy of a dog in a moving vehicle......
................................................................................. absolutely .. thank you DD 🙂
love the image of that last line
'rudder' is such an apt wording..
I remember as a child
we had a huge Dane, dense black in colour
so black, it glowed
like a moonless night sky
and every evening, when my father
commuting back home
would turn the car
on to our street, half a mile
from our door
the barking would begin
so energetic, every night
as-if
trying to pull the car along those last few yards, a little quicker..
(if you're not some monster of a human
and love dogs
I consider you kin..
I'm simple minded, like that
unashamedly so!) lol

Neville,
…and I thought you’d be writing about a
crème brûlée you’d be enjoying after your walk with your dog.😉
Enjoyed the read.
Thank you for sharing.
