What better way to spend a quiet evening than to write a poem in the good company of a friendly dog or cat?

Ode to the Scottie

The Scottie is a feisty dog

On this you can depend

Bred to be a hunter

And to be the Scotsman's friend

In his native land of Scotland

Always at his master's side

You might see them walking

Along the River Clyde

For the Scottie is a loyal pal

On whom you can rely

His manner may be very bold

But his heart is of the purest gold

Once there was a neighbor man

As Kind as kind could be

And he had a little dog named Beau

A nicer pair you'd never see.

They would walk the lengthy block around

(Beau was always free) to stroll

So frequently then, you'd hear the sound

"Oh, come on Beau!"

You could always count on them

You'd see them come and go

And when the neighbor was in a hurry

You'd hear a rapid "Come on, Beau!"

It's been many a year

Since the two of them strolled

Around the lengthy block

But the thought brings a smile

And I think - for awhile

I can still hear the same "Come on, Beau!"

That Neighbors Cat

Upon my garden bench she lies

That neighbors cat

With the blue, blue eyes.

She stares at me

So bold is she

To take command

With a manner grand.

Who's cat is she?

I have no clue

That lazy cat

With the grayish hue.

She is an uninvited guest

But a kindly heart have I

I'll let her languish on my bench

Beneath the clear blue sky.

She seems to think my bench is best

So, I will not disturb her rest

She looks so very soft and gray

I shall let her sleep again to-day.

Best wishes to all from the staff of the Inn!
