Lynda of http://portlandoregondailyphoto.blogspot.com/ gave me permission to use this photograph for a poem. It is one of a series of about six that chronicle a street scene in Portland. Let's hope the poodle found a tree quite soon!
OFF-COURSE OF COURSE!
Percy the Poodle was crossing the street,
Attached, of course, to a lead.
'Thought Percy 'Goody! There's a tree!
'Thought Percy 'Goody! There's a tree!
Exactly what I need!
I'm bursting to cock my back leg
And that tree will be just great!
And, while I'm about it, I'll have a sniff!
And, while I'm about it, I'll have a sniff!
It might lead me to a mate!'
But what is this? His mistress has veered
But what is this? His mistress has veered
Way off towards the right!
Did you see a poodle with his legs crossed?
Did you see a poodle with his legs crossed?
That was Percy....Right?
