Dog Haiku

Love my master;
Thus I perfume myself with
This long-rotten mouse.
I lie belly-up
In the sunshine, happier than
You ever will be
Today I sniffed
Many dog behinds—I celebrate
By kissing your face.
I sound the alarm!
Paper boy—come to kill us all—
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!
I lift my leg and
Whiz on each bush.
Hello, Spot—Sniff this and weep
I sound the alarm!
Garbage man—come to kill us all—
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!
How do I love thee?
The ways are numberless as
My hairs on the rug.
I sound the alarm!
Mail carrier—come to kill us all—
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!
My human is home!
I am so ecstatic I have
Made a puddle
I sound the alarm!
Gardener—come to kill us all—
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!
I Hate my choke chain—
Look, world, they strangle me!
Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack!

Look in my eyes and
Deny it. No human could
Love you as much I do
The cat is not all
Bad—she dots the neighborhood
With Tootsie Rolls
Dig under fence—why?
Because it's there. Because it's
There. Because it's there.
I am your best friend,
Now, always, and especially
When you are eating.
My owners' mood is
Romantic—I lie near their
Feet. I fart a big one.
