Poem
Girswold Fuzzy
Longbottom (Sonnetina tre)
I've never owned a
Yorkie pup you see,
That breed has
always been the owner here.
Though Griz is
second such to live with me,
He makes it clear to
other pets that dear
grandpa is his
toy. When I am not home
my wife can have his
love. He'll sit or lay
most quietly with
her; submit to comb
and bath. When I'm around he wants to play.
He never comes to me
without his ball
for that's his
favorite dog game of all.
