Thankful Poetry Thursday with Xena

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

Hey friends, followers, and schnauzer lovers (and everyone else, too). I’ve got the lead again today and am happy to present to you my poem. First, thanks to Angel Brian who is hosting Thankful Thursday as well as Angel Sammy for the fun picture every week. 

A Love Story by Xena the Schnauzer

There I was laying in my favorite place
When in walks a horse at a very slow pace.
His rider was older, just like the bar keep.
So gentle in manner he looked half asleep.

I saw you love animals when last I stopped by.
That schnauzer’s a beauty and doesn’t seem shy.
I don’t think you noticed how much I liked you.
Could we just sit together and throw back a few?

You old geezer, you’re crazy! Get out of my bar!
I’ll leave now sweet darlin’ but I sure won’t go far.
Hey woman, I woofed, give the nice man a chance…
They’ve been married ten years now and still like to dance!

Xena: I’m thankful my Mommy and Daddy like to dance, too, cause I sure do!

Lucy: I’m thankful that I’m now sleeping downstairs with my Dad. He’s staying there on a blow up bed until his new BiPap machine masks come in. The old ones were awful and keeping us ALL awake at night. I don’t mind so much, cause I can sleep during the day. But my Dad loves my Mom a lot and didn’t want to keep her awake. (Besides, she gets grouchy when she’s really tired.) (And Dad gets grouchy when he gets really hungry.) (So Mom keeps Dad fed and he helps keep her rested.) Wow, I didn’t mean to say all that, but I think it’s OK.

Chia: I’m thankful for my weird sister Lucy.

Xena: OK, so now you know a whole lot about all of us than we intended. But I think it’s ok. I’m gonna go snuggle up with my Mommy now.

  17. We give your poem an A+. Perfect interpretation of the photo. Your mom and dad sound like the perfect loving couple. Our dad keeps our mom fed. She hates grocery shopping and decided years ago that she was sick of cooking. Now he feeds her, and she cleans up after him.
