GRACIE CAME TO SNIFF

Gracie the dog came to sniff

My leg and  act as if…

She needed to go

Janet led her so,

Outside before the darkness was stiff!

GRACIOUS GRACIE

GRACIOUS GRACIE

–

Coming in from sunshine

Where I had tried to blog…

It was too bright, til I came in

And spotted Gracier dog!

–

She wagged her tail and wagged her tail

Suddenly as if pleased…

Then hung back to see this man

Whose presence must be eased.

–

I let her smell my slipper,

The same one from at first…

When at our first meeting,

To calm a fear out-burst.

–

When first we met in company

She allowed me scratch her chin…

The next time==she was so shy–

Takes time letting someone in!

FASHION PERSONIFIED

FASHION PERSONIFIED

–

Janet and I were talking,

While Joanne was walking

Out to see

Little Gracie,

While I did the usual gawking.

–

“Joanne,” said Janet kindly,

“Your suit looks wonderfully…

“Matched in all parts

Your clothing arts,

You’re always a joy to see.”

–

I easily agreed too,

Joanne know what to do…

Fashion embodiment

By separates’ statement

Of talent with green and blue!

–

Things independently

Bought are artfully…

Brought together

A visual treasure,

Pleasing to all who see!  🙂

GRACIE-DOG!

GRACIE-DOG!

Our Janet came around

With a new dog today…

She said her name was Gracie

From a shelter, by the way..

–

Unlike poor old Morgan,

Related to a whippet…

This new one is a black dachshund

So short she is a midget!

–

Her short little legs

Move her right along…

Neighbors laugh at her rolling in grass

And bonds are growing strong.

–

Getting used to one another

Takes a little time…

Some of us miss old Madison

Who was far past her prime!

–

Gracie-Dog doesn’t trust men–

Last night she smelled my slippers…

This morning, though she shied away,

More time we’ll gladly give her.
