POEM: OH, COME! TAKE ME FOR A WALK.

Painting: Oil on canvas, 18×24 inches, Palette Knife Painting.

– Transcribed as heard from our Golden Retriever ¨Brezel¨.

Oh, come!

Take me for a walk.

I can’t wait,

It’s six O’clock.

.

Oh, look!

My buddies

Are down there in the fields.

They are running around,

I’m here, just lying about.

.

Oh, dump!

What a waste

Of the evening.

It will get dark and gloomy,

Stop reading and get going.

.

Oh, forsook! Get up

From the couch.

Stop lolling about,

Go fetch me my rope.

.

Oh, quick!

It’s time to

Run down the hill to

Sniff the doggy scents,

Whiff of life’s essence.

.

Oh, shucks!

You are too slow

The pretty señorita there

Pets me over my snout,

And strokes me under my chin.

.

Oh, sure! I know you like

To gawk at her.

And feign innocence,

While Mommy scowls at your impertinence.

.

Oh, run! Let’s be fast

The cool breeze is a blowin’

The autumn colors are a glowin’

And I’m about to be peein’.

.

Oh, wait! Shall we take

This route, or that perhaps?

While I fancy much

The swinging bridge.

.

Oh, think! Life’s

Like a pendulous bridge.

Swinging ever from glee to glum

Before it forever ends.

.

Oh, hurry! Take me for a walk!

.
