Haiku Friday: Childhood pets

 




Ah, we all remember our childhood pet! Let's haiku about that this week, ok? Here, I will go first:

Chuck, the fine feline
Wandered all over the Shores
Girlfriend was aloof.

Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern and have some fun!

Comments:
A traveling dog
was Topper. From Germany
to VA he roamed.
(Des)
 
Lhasa apso dog
Looked like mop without handle
Then he ran away
 
Toilet water -- yum!
Ground beef on the counter -- yum!
Next: nap in sunshine
 
Squirrel did not know
That he was my pet, I guess
But I imagined.
 
Call him a dachshund
Or even a wiener dog
Either way it's Fritz

 
My dog was named Boots
Because she had four white paws
She was a good dog
 
New dog with no name
Mom said “she’s a smart Cookie”
And that was her name
 
Dachshund Boopie had
but one skill: swallowing his
food whole in great gulps.

Why waste time chewing?
Too much to do. Gotta chase
squirrels. Gotta bark.

Gotta dig. Gotta
bark. Gotta sleep in the sun.
Gotta bark, bark, bark.

 
A pet canary
Scattered seed; an empty cage
sits in the basement

Name long forgotten
No doubt buried in backyard
Beneath the plum tree


 
Bessie. Calico
cat, named as one would a cow,
to mother's regret.
