Monday entertainment

Quid posted an entry the other day filled with Haiku, her “Lightning Series”. She’s an amazing poet and it’s a beautiful example of her work.

Not to detract from her talent, I was reminded of a funny e-mail I received years ago which contained “dog haiku”. Of course that e-mail is long gone, but a quick Google search brought up plenty of samples of what I remembered. Although not all of them are true to form, here are a few for your Monday entertainment.

I love my master;
Thus I perfume myself with
This long-rotten squirrel.

Today I sniffed
Many dog butts - I celebrate
By kissing your face.

I sound the alarm!
Mailman - 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 hate my choke chain -
Look, world, they strangle me! Ack
Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack!

You may call them fleas,
But they are far more - I call
Them a vocation.

My human is home!
I am so ecstatic I have
Made a puddle.

Dig under fence - why?
Because it's there. Because it's
There. Because it's there.
