Poem Artwork


Homely that downhome dogly way
Marisol is unlovely some say
But I say she with her long-eared hangdog face
She wears doggedly bears a watchful grace
If ferociously occasionally
To me she is lovely anyway

I look at Marisol and see
No circus poodle in a tutu
But heavy-duty dogpower to do to
Whoever whatever must be done
If something is done she is the one
Who does as she keeps the watch for her friends

For doggedness or the love of me
The watch of the watchdog never ends

Nice tribute to your favorite watcher. I don't find Marisol the least bit unattractive. Looks like a wonderful dog to me.
