"Dog Haiku"

I love my master;
Thus I perfume myself with
This long-rotten squirrel.


I lie belly-up
In the sunshine, happier than
You ever will be

Today I sniffed
Many dog butts - I celebrate
By kissing your face.


I sound the alarm!
Paperboy - come to kill us all -
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!


I sound the alarm!
Mailman Fiend - come to kill us all -
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!


I sound the alarm!
Meter reader - come to kill all -
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!


I sound the alarm!
Garbage man - come to kill all -
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!


I sound the alarm!
Neighbor's cat - come to kill all!
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!


I lift my leg and
Wiz on each bush. Hello, Spot -
Sniff this and weep.


How do I love thee?
The ways are numberless as
My hairs on the rug.


My human is home!
I am so ecstatic I have
Made a puddle.


I hate my choke chain -
Look, world, they strangle me! Ack
Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack!


Sleeping here, my chin
On your foot - no greater bliss - well,
Maybe catching cats.


Look in my eyes and
Deny it. No human could
Love you as much I do.


Dig under fence - why?
Because it's there. Because it's
There. Because it's there.


I am your best friend,
Now, always, and especially
When you are eating.


You may call them fleas,
But they are far more - I call
Them a vocation.


My owners' mood is
Romantic - I lie near their
Feet. I blow a big one.
