#dachshunds - Hello Poetry

Central Standard Dachshund Time Turn back the clock, but not a dachshund’s tail Since dog and tail will turn right back again. And then around three times, and without fail She’ll want outside, and then – She’ll want back in To spin, for that is what a dachshund does A doggy dance, a prance, and all four paws Buzz, and where she is isn’t where she was In violation of space-time and Newton’s laws - On Saturday night we turn back the clocks But there’s no winding down a baby dox

Cuddly Carnivores Why do we humans cuddle carnivores Give names to yapping little quadrupeds Who growl at socks and shoes and closet doors And rumple all the covers on all the beds? What possible use is a dachshund pup Who chews whatever her tiny teeth reach And what doesn’t digest comes right back up: Little dogs are impossible to teach! But in my arms my Astrid softly snores - That’s why we cuddle baby carnivores

Lawrence Hall, HSG [email protected] A Lucky Dachshund’s Foot Luna-Dog sat with a stick in her jaws The sort of thing a little dachshund gnaws (chewing everything is one of a puppy’s laws) But a look in her eyes gave me some pause – It wasn’t a stick; it was one of a bunny’s paws! Yuck. Time for church. -The End-

Counting Dachshunds Some people go to sleep by counting sheep But I instead must count two dachshund pups Who are not comforted by box or crate Or fluffy towels upon the bedroom floor Astrid and Luna commandeer the pillows By right of conquest over human hearts And there recline like princesses royal Throughout the watches of the dreaming night O sleepy little carnivores, you bless Both nights and days with doggie happiness!

Lawrence Hall [email protected] https://hellopoetry.com/lawrence-hall/ poeticdrivel.blogspot.com A Busy Dachshund Puppy She leaves you a gift on the kitchen floor And another on the living-room rug And barfs up half a frog just inside the door And barfs again – a poorly-digested bug She bites into cranky old Pepper-Cat’s tail (Something so twitchy must surely taste good) And Pepper-Cat spanks her; oh, what a wail! (Dear pup, there’s a difference between could and should) And in the evening, while you doze over a book She rests upon your heart, and gives you that look And her big eyes ask, Am I your very good dog? Oh, yes
