When will you............?

orchidee

When will you write some sensible stuff again?

Fido asks me

Though you know he writes 99% of the sensible stuff really

 

And who am I? he asks me

A talking, reading dog?

Ordering me (nicely) to get his pipe (no baccy in it)

And carpet slippers

So he can sit by the fire of an evening

And check out them poems

Seeing if he has to bark at anyone

'Forgetting' that 18+ tick box

Where it should be ticked

He knows the excuses

Of 'conveniently forgetting'!

Heehee

    Dogs the smartest animal on the planet have convinced us that they are out best friend and trained us to do as they bid while all the time thinking that they are doing our biding a case of the trained being convinced that they are the trainer. After all who can sit around all day get free room and board have someone bath them scratch them behind the ears and rub their belly. Pretty good life I would say.

      Thank you SB. Erm, KP does the same but it's not a pretty picture - rolls around on the floor, etc. That could be Too Much Information (TMI)! lol.

        Most welcome Orchi

      • Doggerel Dave

        Please ask him to sort those who categorise their work as 18 + for absolutely no reason at all - overwhelming disappointment....

        • orchidee

          Thank you D. Some think it means 'Tick this box if you are 18+'

          • Doggerel Dave

            Well then it is for you or your faithful hound to educate them and ensure they comply with the rules (the fact that I've never really understood this rule or it's utility is, I would venture, neither here nor there). Orders must be obeyed at all times and without question.....

              Who live in a Pineapple Down on the Sea?…Don’t answer that or we’ll have yet another frequent visitor! And what he eats is crusty! 😂🤢

                  LOL! You're welcome! Beware Gary, he appears cute...but that snail bites! LOL!

                  Fido certainly runs your life Orchi.

                  • orchidee

                    Thank you Gold. Yes lol. Is Fido my conscience?

                  • Tom Dylan

                    Good ole Fido! Nicely done, Orchi. 😀
