Andover, Maine More stuff you can’t make up. State police arrested a man last week for breaking into a vacationing resident’s home and squatting. The man said both his dog and Jesus told him to do it because he was supposed to meet country singer Taylor Swift there and marry her in the back yard. I had to look this up, but Taylor has a dog too, a mini doberman named “Bug.”

A marriage made in heaven Jesus told me what to do He handed me the road map And I just followed through He located me a big back yard For me and Taylor Swift The only problem now is That I’ve got no wedding gift Sweet Jesus can you help me Don’t make my dog a liar There are some things just meant to be With both our hearts on fire It was to be a double nuptial With Taylor and her Bug Me and my dog would seal it With a special double hug But the troopers wouldn’t have it They put a sad end to our dreams And the handcuffs that we’re wearing Are much sadder than it seems Sweet Jesus can you help me Don’t make my dog a liar There are some things just meant to be With both our hearts on fire I try not to be discouraged Looking in my dog’s warm eyes He’s telling me we should try again For true love always shows reprise With him it’s hard to argue Every time you cross love’s borders But the reality is that even dogs Must obey restraining orders Sweet Jesus can you help me Don’t make my dog a liar There are some things just meant to be With both our hearts on fire Copyright 2011 Patrick Granfors

As much as I loath Country and Western. You sure are gifted, this is superb! I found myself singing to it in a country and western rhythm and tune.
Patrick, this is excellently written. I could easily see it as a C n W hit. I'll be doing the Texas two step, next.

A fitting write, Patrick. Well done.

Sweet Jesus and dogs may march to the beat of a different drummer.
However the guy came up with a different kind of an excuse for breaking an entering. Different but unbelivably stupid... But not your poem, ol' buddy.
