Poetry: Pets

by Susana Berryman

Sassy is a beagle hound

Nice little dog to have around.

Chasing rabbits, her favorite play

Running, barking all the way.

She will swim the small lagoon

Tracking down an island coon.

Why the expression "dumb dog"

She's smart

To get attention is an accomplished art.

Her most used bluff is the injured paw

Cutest trick you ever saw.,

If a stranger comes in view

Sassy comes a limping too

Although the bluff does not fool us

She knows everyone will make a fuss

Although barking at stranger is not he habit

She'll never let you get robbed by a rabbit.
