An Easy Peasy Post

I began writing a poem for today, then remembered I had been planning on posting one from Matt Forrest Esenwine that he sent me.  I realized I hadn't told him it would be this week, so have now postponed it until next Friday.  Then Michelle H. Barnes emailed me to say she was going to post my poem I wrote for her for the Winter Poetry Swap organized by Tabatha Yeatts.
So now, my post is going to merely refer you to Michelle's site: Today's Little Ditty.  There.  Post done for Poetry Friday.  Easy-peasy.  (Now there's a poem that rhymes...)
Go see Michelle now.  She's there with her new word for the new year.
Then go visit many other wonderful poetry links at The Miss Rumphius Effect where Poetry Friday is being hosted by Tricia Stohr-Hunt.

Ok.  Nevermind.  I just finished the poem anyway...inspired by Gingersnap...

If I Were a Dog...and I think that I am...

If I were a dog

though I'm glad that I'm not

I’d do what I’m told

And learn what I’m taught

When you said to sit

I’d stay in that spot

If you threw a ball

that ball would get caught

I’d play with my toys

just ones that you brought

I wouldn’t chew chairs

or other such spots

I’d need to go out

yet not whine a lot

Then late in the night

I’d curl like a dot

And lay by the fire

till I got too hot

Though I'm not a dog

and glad that I'm not

I think that in time

I'll give it a shot.

Would that be a puppy shot?  Oooh, that's today.  My 9 week puppy shots are today.
