Christmas Dog
I put you in
a suit of Elf
and asked you not
to be yourself
No wag, no bark, no jump or drool
for just the season of the yule
So many pictures
I did take
and promised you
both shrimp & steak
You stood there mute
so mad at me
that I was worried
you would pee
and make a mess
for me to clean
while gloating like
some beauty queen.
No matter how
I begged or teased
you gave no damn
if I was pleased.
When at last
I was done
I let you loose
to have some fun
you took your chewie
jumped on the bed
made a face
and rolled back your head
But that’s okay
cuz you’ll forget
about the suit
and the hat.
And next Christmas
when you’re not looking
a new yule suit
I’ll be hooking
about your belly
so big & fat
and you’ll be wishing
you were the cat.
