To the Dogs--Clarihew Poems

Today it's a Clerihew poem or two.


PICKY, PERSNICKETY, AND PRIVATE
Clovis drives me half insane 
Sometimes he's quite a little pain
He never eats all of his food
I think his stomach must be wood

Jinky has his life planned out 
If I offer advice he pops a pout
But when it comes time for a ride
He's right there at my freaking side

Bingo has a voice like gold
She always sings in the shower bold
But when it comes to an audience
She keeps us forever in suspense
