Fifi and Pete

If you should happen to visit my home
you would find two dogs, Fifi and Pete
Fifi is always here, never will roam
Pete, on the other hand walks a beat

Fifi is a poodle with curly white hair
painted nails, and a pink ribbon bow
Pete is a beagle, that sleeps on a chair
start the car, he’s always ready to go

Pete feels utter disdain for the poodle
lifts his nose in the air as he walks by
What a dog with a bow on her noodle
He’d like to teach that dog how to fly

If he could fly her to Paris, France
maybe he could lead a normal life
He hated the arrogant poodle stance
She behaved like a “high-flutin” wife

One day as Pete was walking his beat
wishing Fifi would decide to leave
A truck came rolling down the street
from side to side the truck did weave

Fifi was standing alone in the yard
watching this frightening scene
She began to bark long and hard
knowing Pete would be smithereens

Pete saw the truck just in time
to make it to the safety of a yard
He might have been flat as a dime
now he held Fifi in high regard

That poodle chick had some class
she was really pretty cute
He began to appreciate her sass
perhaps he was becoming more astute

There is a moral to this story, you know
"Never judge by the outward appearance;
try to look beneath the paint and bow,
it might be worth your perseverance"

Seymour, Thank you Seymour.  The two dogs are a figment of my imagination.  At this time our home is home to a very arrogant cat, but that is another story/poem.:-) Wanda

Wanda - at one time I also had a poodle named Fifi. A warm and loveable dog. Have not had a beagle, but know some that have. Also a loveable pet...

Bill; At one time we had a poodle, beautiful black toy poodle.  My husband happens to be partial to beagles.  Today, we only have a cat.  I did love that poodle but our son was allergic to dogs, so we had to find another home for the poodle.  It was really a sad day for us.  Thank you for your response.  Wanda
