Bath Time
by Rene Laris
copyright 07-26-2005


Age Rating: 1 to 127

 
I get the hose and turn it on.
I look around, my dog is gone.
I think he knows todays the day,
that is why he ran away.

So I set out to find him,
and tie him to a tree.
I hose him down and lather him up,
his sad brown eyes, staring up at me.

He doesn't like his bath at all,
until I'm almost done.
And then he's happy as can be,
as he'll soon be free to run.

Very cute!

My inlaws dog will run and hide at the word bath, so they started calling it Matties Funtime. SHe hasn't caught on as of yet, but I am sure she will eventually.

This is really cute and what most of us can relate to.
I do, however have a few suggestions for the flow of the poem. The first stanza starts great. The first and second line rhyme, then the third and forth line rhyme, each line having eight beats, except the fourth line, but that could be brought to eight by adding the word 'and' at the beginning of the line.
I have used this rhyming scheme and like it because it shows action happening.
However, when you get to the second and third stanza, you change the tempo and have the first and third lines rhymning. This is an OK rhythm style on its own, but combining it with the style of the first stanza, kind of throws the whole thing off.
These are just my observations, but I know if you redo the second and third stanza to keep with the flow of the first, it will create a much better read.

Very adorable! Both my dogs hate baths. I usually have to sit in the tub with them to keep them still while my mom and brother washes them. The only downside to this, is smelling of wet dog for awhile after >.<

Awwww! This is such a cute poem ^_^

Really cute! But we don't usually tie our dogs up to trees. We have a rope tied to the sewer entrance with a collar on it. It's the closest thing to the house that the hose can reach :)
