Tali Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) In the Big brown cardboard box Barely bigger than rolled up socks Eight squirmy black and grey bundles Bounce and scramble and tumble We proctrastinate, Vacillate Then the little one stands on her back legs Paws out over the edge and says, "Ror ror ror" And our choice was made. Mischief personified Curiously dignified Dog beds are scruffed Couches unstuffed Bowls of water spilt A Duck hunt in our feather quilt Go to growl her but "Ror? Ror? Ror?" And you just couldn't Age and wisdom came Arthritis slowly sent her lame Enduring of the skin-kids Watching from under her eyelids Kept the pack together On walks, in the house, wherever With her loudly protested "Ror, Ror, Ror" We'd all smile and regroup to make her happy Horrid decision; Self derision But you can't be sentimental If you want the end to be gentle So we held her and nuzzled Let her know she was loved Right till the end; without violence Then we came home to the silence No more "Ror, Ror, Ror" Voorste Mijn, Talikhan, Foremost Mine indeed Edited April 19, 2009 by Tali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
