Flash
I can't write this poem,
Without mawkish phrases,
We just lost our dog,
And these are his praises.
His body was long,
As so were his ears,
But short were his legs,
The oven he feared.
His name was Flash,
And he was so slow,
That a walk round the block,
Took an hour or so.
His eyes were the saddest,
of most doggies by far,
But he almost smiled,
For a ride in the car.
He was barky and lazy,
Loyal and true,
It's quieter now,
And sadder too.
