and Nod???
(ah...oh methinks
this pissant
pooch woof lee
barked up
the wrong tree –

mongrel friend)
This poetic
endeavor doth
not boast
nor brag
to take digs
on front page
headline grab
bing news,
nonetheless dag
nab bit
significant dys
function prevails
when bodily energy
does shutterfly
like a black flag
without rapid
eye movement,
this lix
spittle chap
feels like
an old hag
whereat every
friggin bone (er)
in this straggly,
mangy, and
creaky ship
of state
feels like jag
head shards
piercing
thine flesh
with pronounced jet lag
and reacts with
the slightest
provocation
like a
curmudgeonly
cranky
compromised
nag,
yet, this
muttering
mouth foaming
flea bitten
doggone
chow barker
bows down
in (toto)
obeisance
(like an
obedient
Dachshund)
tail wagging,
trump petting,
and snout
sniffing out
provenance
on par
with the
smell of new
sofa despite
fur vent
angry ma
stiff masta
paws zing
aghast at
dog eared,
glom haired,
and icky
stained
new furniture,
how petty,
versus slumber
lest awakening
the
Cerberus within,

(as taught
at canine

upon spilling

the bulk of

sans letting

Canis lupus

lye undisturbed,
especially
after a bath
when pooch
resembles
a limp

when feeling
