Buddy the cat has now started
A pet writing epidemic in our household.
Turbo, our wolf dog from New Mexico,
Who truly loves our little Chihuahua,
Has demanded that his tale be told.
So I now present,
Turbo’s Western Poem:
- Down Mexico Way -
Me and the old flea bit Mangy Gang
Had been way up north in Kittyville
Cheatin at cards in the Catnip Saloon
But that Sheriff Buddy was a real pill
Two of my partners are now in his jail
And Tater he high tailed it out of town
So I lit out of there real quick like myself
Headed down to old Mexico to scout around
I figured I could stir up another poker game
Or rustle me some cattle or a few small sheep
But I was gettin real hungry once again amigos
And this tired old outlaw really needed some sleep
But when I stumbled into this tiny Mexican village
And walked into the cantina I spotted a real cutey
I soon learned that her name was Chica Blanca
And I have to tell ya she is one hot Mexican beauty
Oh how lovely she smelled so fresh from the kitchen
So after she fed me I asked her to walk in the moonlight
And by the time the hot desert sun was once again rising
This lovely senorita had truly filled my old heart with delight
And bein a desperado so long I ain’t gettin' no younger
So I’ve decided to settle down here and make it my home
And freedom oh freedom well that's just some dogs howlin'
My old jail was walkin through this big old world all alone
Me and my Chica Blanca are now gettin hitched
This old mutt has finally come to his mangy senses
The two of us are gonna start up our own little rancho
And sleep out under the stars with no barbed wire fences
I’m gonna let this little girl love me
Before it gets much much too late
And for more of her real spicy enchiladas
This hungry old desperado can hardly wait
South of the border - down Mexico way
That’s where I fell in love
When my Chica Blanca – fed me one day
- The End -

'Oh how lovely she smelled so fresh from the kitchen' ah, the old saw IS true, man or beast!! but, then I knew that... i would like to think these critters love me for myself, but hah, it is because i look like a sack lunch. Enjoyed the read, the 4th graders are so pleased to read your personal comments for several of the haiku.
Love Aunty Tinky :P
