Three Canines, Two Felines and a Psittacine Present: Bad Poetry

Typist: Bethany
Sunday, August 18th is Bad Poetry Day so we are joining Oz the Terrier and Ku of Haiku with Ku's weekend long celebration with some bad poetry by the entire furry and feathery Cascadian Nomads ensemble. Since none of our band of merry bloggers has ever attempted to write any kind of poetry, good or bad, before, I think you are all in for quite a treat! For those of you here for FitDog Friday, hosted by SlimDoggy, Peggy's Pet Place and To Dog With Love, fear not, you are in the right place! Our fit clan couldn't resist typing about exercise even in some really bad poems. So, without further ado, the three canines, two felines and psittacine of the Cascadian Nomads Present, Bad Poetry:

Picture
Typist: Wilhelm
Don't disturb my sleep
I hold it so very dear
I'll sleep anywhere
I'm always up for a walk
But bad poetry let's not
Picture
Typist: Brychwyn
A handsome blue eyed corgi writing a poem
As a few of my admirers gaze on
I write and I wag from the comfort of home
Later I will likely nap out on the lawn.
So dear friends I have to be honest with you
Despite charming blue eyes and debonair smile
Instead of poetry I prefer a chew
Or to be out hiking or running a mile.
Not much longer must I sit at the keyboard
I can get on with my exciting routine
I'll bark out the window, all toys I will hoard
And dig holes while keeping my white fur pristine
But this bad poem without rhyming Brychwyn?
That, my dear friends, would be a terrible sin.
Picture
Typist: Huxley
Hello, my name is Huxley
Up-beat and always friendly
Xoloitzcuintli's are sweet
Lassie was too a collie
Everyone is fond of me
You've read my bad poetry

Typist: Gryphon
Rain pours down today
On the bed is where I'll stay
Unless there's a dog

Typist: Amelia
What do you mean I must write a poem?
What is a poem?
Does it have to rhyme?
Do I have the time?
Can you throw my ball for me just one more time?

Typist: Leo
(To the tune of "The Itsy Bitsy Spider," my favorite song)
The big birdy Leo went out so we will shout
Out came my wings and flapp'd all about
Up came my crest and a happy cheer hooray
That's all-the bad poetry I have for you today

If it wasn't really bad, it was at least hastily written because we're on our way out the door for another long road trip/camping trip. Please let us know which poem you think was the worst, best and most fit. We can take any harsh criticisms in stride because we'll be on vacation!

I think Brychwyn's was most profound and laden with deep meaning. Amelia's was too perfect...what do you mean I must write a poem??? They were all good and loads of fun - thanks for sharing with us on FitDog Friday.

LOL! You are a bad poetry over-achiever! Not only did you come up w/ one poem, you had to do one for each pet! Great job!

That's a fun way to incorporate fitness into your poetry exercise. You could have also tried writing it on the run while dictating it on your phone :)

Frankly, you should get +1000 points for the use of the word "Xoloitzcuintli". Love your poems!

I like Amelia's poem best. It's full of attitude, the kind I wish I had.
