lady was the friendly hound
who stopped every morning to chat
with the contentious black cat
who waited for her down the street

she spent the summer running free
chasing rabbits through the woods
catching one upon occasion
and hiding in the tall green grass

in the fall she gave birth to six pups
one of which we decided to keep
winston follows her around now
prancing about tail curling like
a question mark suspended in air

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Love it!

Purrs to the cat, and woofs to Winston and Lady, and to the other pups if you know where they are

When I saw the title I thought of the old Frank Sinatra song, "Luck be a Lady Tonight. I guuess I'll go around humming it all day now.

Thee question mark tail was a fun thing to put into your poem. Loved it.

Your title pulled me in and I got a completely different poem than I thought I was going to (I like that) Gotta love it when it comes to animals, you painted the picture well
