Poem for the pup

Gather 'round bloggers, for a story to hear
'Bout a girl and a dog and a grand New Year

Birthday parties and new years, let's celebrate right
And lift spirits and glasses all through the night.

Come along home in the wee of the morn
To find much excitement instead of expected scorn.

Wee pup was excited to see her faux-master
And tore out of her cage so that she could pee faster.

Facing the facts, the leash, and the cold of near-dawn,
The pup drags our hero out so she can sniff at the lawn.

Whereupon the morning's business is complete,
Girl falls into bed, drunk, with freezing cold feet.

She's keeping this dog for a traveling friend,
Who plans to return shortly after year's end.

But for now, while she lays, shivering cold,
This warm little pup's worth twice its weight in gold.

She jumps up for snuggles and smooches goodnight.
Then curls up below to prevent toe-frostbite.

So thanks, little pup, so cute and so dear,
Go home to your master, and have a Happy New Year.
