    It's Saturday and the temperature's high.
    Dog's out teachin'them birds to fly.
    Can she run-boy look at her go!
    OOPS, she tripped on a dumb old hoe.
    We had a good nuff time, my doggy and me.

    The sun is shinin', the chirds are burpin'.
    Dog'll chase em off, that's for certain.
    Runnin' around like a big race horse.
    She seems to have her own set course.
    We had a good nuff time, my doggy and me.

    "Come on Dad, let's play fetch!"
    She knows I like to see her catch.
    I throw the ball out in the yard.
    She takes off just a-runnin' hard.
    We had a good nuff time, my doggy and me.

    Gettin' too hot, she has to stop.
    She hits the stoop with a big ker-flop.
    Days gettin' just too warm to stand.
    But what the heck, on the other hand,
    We had a good nuff time, my doggy and me.

    Oh, I love poetry of all sorts. That is a good one. My DH used to right all the time, I have notebooks full of his stuff. Keep those poems coming.

    And what a fine master this good dog's got,
    That he writes doggy-prose better than bought -
    No wonder it is she adores and begs pats
    With a dear loving owner like our Desert Rat;
    He has a good nuff time, his doggy and he.

    An answer in poetry. Thank you, Primsong. I would have to guess that all gardeners are poets. It's just that their poetry usually shows up in the form of flowers. Thank you, again. DR

    Since Prim did a poem I'll answer in a haiku:

    man and his favourite dog
    play in the yard
    enjoyable times are had

    :D
