A Warm Puppy Pome (sic)

by Kalikiano Kalei — Read all 118 poems by Kalikiano Kalei

There are few things in the world as thoroughly enjoyable as infant animals, including kittens, despite the following whimsy. Personally, I've always preferred puppies and kittens to little human infants, but giving it some thought, I suppose I could warm up to the little buggers if I tried hard enough.

A Warm Puppy Pome
 

 
 


 

Oh cuddly puppy with snuffling nose,
 

That piddles so warmly upon my toes,
 

Your cuteness factor goes off the chart,
 

With every silent puppy fart.
 

 
 

I dedicate this pome to you,
 

My little producer of puppy-poo.
 

Despite your faults you make me smile
 

Although I slip in every pile.
 

 
 

For where can one find such a friend
 

With which to explore ‘round every bend,
 

Who uncomplaining always is,
 

As long as he can sniff and whiz.
 

 
 

Forget the cats and kittens too,
 

That neatly bury their effluent goo,
 

They’ve never yet giv’n me a laff,

As much as you’ve managed to, by half!

A puppy poo poem. Never thought I'd see another. I can see you are a 'real' author, unlike my wanna be self. You can trust a person who loves animals. Thank you for this funny.

enjoyed the read

W o n d e r f u l, aren't they ?

Nothing like a dog to make you feel special. Their love is
totally without condition, their lust for life, unashamed greed,
and capacity for affection and unflagging curiosity are
but a few of the reasons why they get by with being unprincipled
rascals.

Probably cutest when they're little, but not a day passes when
I don't marvel at our 9+-year-old Nicky's ability to make me laugh...
just walking down the hall! Got this sassy sway goin' for 'im, y'know? Macho Dog. Just as every one of us is different, every dog is. I can still see tiny, l3-year-old Rosie dancing like a snaggle-toothed whirling dirvish by way of greeting. Nick tickles me by making himself small and heavy as bath time approaches. He has a sixth sense for when the nail clippers come out! Take a multi-volume tome to cover all the shenanigans & pecadillos of the dogs who have owned me! My husband feels the same.

Thank you for this.

Real tail-wagger!!

Since this posted on my birthday and I love animals it was a must-read. Agree, haven't found a pup yet to cover it's poop like a cat.

Very enjoyable!

Awwwwwwwww, adorable! Even with their stinky farts and whining in the middle of the night, and needing to be let out in the middle of the night, one look into puppy eyes and seeing a wagging tail melts me every. Single. Time. And the sound of a kitten's purr ... man. Completely undone. Endearing write that will appeal to the pet lover in all of us. Well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Huskies probably my favorite :)

Entertaining wit-wise. "A Warm Puppy Pome (sic)" sings to wild-sublime.

In admiration.
