Example Poem:

Then the Dog Ran Off    (Sonnetina Quatro)

I taught my dog to drive my truck 

so I could ride and play guitar. 

When I get drunk I'm still in luck, 

He drives home from the country bar. 

A trooper stopped us.  That did suck; 

We were not going very far. 

The truck's impounded.  I'm in jail, 

A license I forgot to get. 

Yes, it's a sad and sorry tale. 

My license won't work for my pet.
