No Dogs Allowed: A Funny Poem by Xena

We’re thankful for Angel Brian, who is hosting Thankful Thursday, as well as Angel Sammy for the picture every week. Let’s see what Angel Sammy has in store for us today. Oh, and you’ll notice I, Xena, hopped into the picture!

No Dogs Allowed by Xena the Schnauzer

I work at a place where the big boss says, “No.”
“No dogs allowed, nor cats, goats or pigs.”
But I got hired, you know, by a goat in a wig
Who said, “Don’t you worry, just go with the flow.”

Big Boss walked by while I was eating my lunch.
His eyes ’bout popped out as he yelled, “Out, you, get out!”
I made my eyes big and gave him my best pout.
“Don’t be mad” I whined, ” I was just having brunch.”

“Out! Out!” he kept shouting and waving his hoof.
“You’re eating my cousin or Great Uncle Dorn. “
When he lowered his head and showed me his horns
I ran for the door without even a woof.

The goat, still disguised, knew this would happen
So he’d set me up far away from the bull,
With two ‘puter’s, paw cleanser, TP and desk full.
I just need more beef liver with a real stiff Manhattan!

The end.

Chia: *rolling on ground* That’s the funniest poem I’ve ever read, Xeboo. Oh, and hey, Gracie’s here! I’m thankful for another chance to try to get her to be my friend and play with me!!

“Gracie”

Lucy: I’m also thankful for Gracie, and I’m thankful I got to go to work with Mom today. I’ll get to visit with Gracie when I get home. Oh, and I’m also thankful that the cat that attacked me yesterday didn’t hurt me worse, like scratch my eye. Instead, she bit the bottom of my ear and it bled and bled and bled. Mommy finally got it to stop bleeding but it still hurt. I didn’t know she had a teeny tiny kitten nearby or I would have stayed away.

Xena: I was there and saw it happen, Lucy. I’m sorry for you, and I’m thankful it wasn’t me. You didn’t even scream like I would have!! I’m also thankful that I get to sleep every night between Mommy and Daddy. I sleep with my head on one of their pillows and the covers up over me to keep me warm. Oh, and we’re all very grateful that Daddy bought Mommy a nice professional Dell laptop ‘puter after her last one died. We left her old one with the ‘puter repair folks. I wonder if they buried it…

We guess that’s it for today. Wishing everyone a great Thursday and weekend.

  1. Wow, that was quite the poem, almost like a bad dream! Silly naughty goat…was it a relative of the Billy Goat Gruff?

    Sorry some kitty took a bite out of your ear, Lucy, OUCH! How come a cat was near to you anyways??

  2. Oh no, so sorry to hear sweet Lucy suffered a cat attack. She’d never hurt a flea but I guess an overly protective mama kitty wouldn’t care. Sending lots of sheepie healing licks. P.S. Nice poetry everyone.

  3. Java Bean: “Ayyy, Lucy, I’m sorry to hear you got bitten by a cat! Was it Chaplin? I bet it was Chaplin.”
    Chaplin: “She said it was because the cat had a tiny kitten nearby. I don’t have any tiny kittens.”
    Java Bean: “Maybe not but it still sounds like something you would do.”
    Lulu: “We send lots of tail wags your way, Lucy!”

  4. But that was the wrong cat…that was the GOOD cat. And, BellaDharma, if it was the bad cat, who was protecting her baby, Lucy would have gotten hurt again… Now you know I was looking out for Lucy more than I was the cat, LOL! But thank you for sticking up for Lucy. She says she appreciates it.

  5. I retaliated this morning by chasing that cat’s brother out of our driveway. You shoulda seen him run! (Mom yelled at me for it, but for it, but it was worth it…I don’t think she’s ever yelled at me before…) *big wags” Lucy
