Doggie-Kisses

 

For all our little domestic carnivorous quadrupeds

 

 

“Love anything, even a small animal, and your heart will surely be broken.”

 

-C. S. Lewis

 

 

Her life is short, her nose is long

A dachshund’s bark is a merry song!

 

Her life is short, her body is long

And how her little paws pad along!

 

Her life is short, her ears are long

Her love is a happy ping to your pong

 

Her life is short, her tail is long

Her eyes are big, her heart is strong

 

Her life is short

But the memories –

O, the memories are long!

A Dachshund Dreaming of Rabbit for Supper

 

My little Luna-Dog has a bad habit

Of chasing after her back-yard rabbit

 

But still let not your mind be troubled or fraught

With fear for that rabbit who is never caught!

A Treatise on the Burrowing Habits of Dachshunds

 

A dachshund will burrow under the garden fence

For every dachshund thinks she is a wolf

A fearsome apex predator with a squeaky toy -

This is in the nature of dachshunds

 

A dachshund will burrow into your tightly-closed hand

Nosing out the doggie treat you have hidden there

A fearsome apex predator and omnivore -

This is in the nature of dachshunds

 

A dachshund bill burrow into your end-of-day lap

Watching both the television and the cats

A fearsome apex predator drooling on your book -

This is in the nature of dachshunds

 

A dachshund will burrow, borrow, beg, and bark

And in her foreshadowing of that better World to come

A dachshund will burrow deeply into your heart -

And love you forever

 

This is in the nature of dachshunds

 

And of you

The Cosmic Inertia of a Six-Pound Dachshund - short poem

The Cosmic Inertia of a Six-Pound Dachshund

 

Why is the resistance factor

In shifting a six-pound dachshund

Who does not want to be shifted

Greater than that of tons of iron?
