Six Haikus By Dogs

Water Dish

Oh porcelain friend

Who gushes forth fine waters

Thy name is toilet.

Ball

Round, yellow, felted pal,

I cannot control my zoom

When you fly by me.

Squirrel

It teases me from

Up high, where I cannot reach.

So I must BARK! BARK!

Toy

Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak!

My human is annoyed now.

I am happy. Squeak!

Hair of the Dog

Oh who is that there

Crouched softly behind that door?

Fluffy pile of me.

Why We Don’t Have a Coffee Table

My tail wags so hard

When I see my human friend.

Sorry about your cup.
