I cleaned my nephews house today and oh gee what a mess I found. It was my first meeting with their new dog, a poodle mixed mutt, who loves to tear toilet tissue up all over the entire house. But my goodness she is so cute!
I think I love her.


In Love With Bella

Little Bella you and your precious little face
I must confess even after cleaning up your mess
I still think you are a cutie.
It's my duty, you see, to clean up after what you do
And do do. But thank God above, for no accidents
Today, at least not on my stay. You did your
Business right out in the yard; oh you adorable little
Card, how I have fallen for you.
Is it those floppy tan ears, or the stain of tears,
Below your sad brown eyes, or is it the poodley
Doodley white hair that causes me to stare
At you in delight? If I could, I might  take you
Home with me. But then again, I see all those
Stains on the carpet where you peed. Oh me,
What is a woman to do, when she falls in
Love with you, my darling, doggie Bella.

She is definitely a cutie, and deserves an extra applause because she has helped your famous poetic humour to sparkle and shine again!
