You'll never believe what I found when I got up this morning. The floor was covered with scattered sheets of yellow paper, I guess from my stack of legal pads in the computer room. And on each page were lines and lines of poetry! Covered in muddy paw prints and occasional spots of excited-doggy drool, wrinkled and torn in a few places. Pretty bad stuff, most of it. But of course I love Calvin so I'd never tell him that.
(How did I know it was Calvin, you ask? The dead giveaway was the toothmarks on the pencil. I haven't chewed my pencils in years.)
So what am I going to do with this stuff? It's all in short broken lines of only a few words each, and none of them rhyme! Not even any pictures to go along with them. So what else do you do with stuff that's too bad to go on the refrigerator? Put it on a website of course! So here it is....
| Happy beardie butt
Wiggles excited hello Here come muddy paws! |
Beardie cries alarm
Household rushes in to see: cat's out of his reach! |
Keyboard tapping late --
Mom spends too much time on this -- Wet nose on elbow. |
| Great new squeaky toy!
Don't know why they bother with Cloth and stuffing "wrap". |
Soft ripping nudges sleep,
Sounds like Calvin with rope toy. Wake to hole in quilt. |
"Woof" is fainter now,
Aching joints move slower too... Loving heart will sleep. |
| Mazie takes a trip,
Filming beardies everywhere -- Brings them home to us. |
Sheep have gotten loose!
Mary driving by with Patsch... Herding hero BARKS. |
Cute beardie puppies!
(Who ever guessed that *making* Them was such hard work??) |
| Angel on horseback...
Rachel dives into the mud! Haley: home at last. |
Not everybeardie
Grows to be 70 pounds. Some are little pugs. |
Haiku's like beardies:
Seventeen syllables short, Can't stop at just one. |
(Some of the last few contain obscure references to fellow members and events on the beardies-L email list.)
