A Dachshunds Wish

Sausage some call me I beg to disagree. I know I am not tall In fact I am quite small My body long and thin About which I never grin. Low to the ground Is how I trot around Floppy ears hanging down Makes me look like a clown. I will make a wish upon a star It’s not supposed to matter what you are Time for a change Kit and caboodle I wish I was a stately poodle.

Nice work! I liked the humor and the nice message in-"It’s not supposed to matter what you are" Keep writing :-)

Too Cute. Our daughter has a Dachshund. She rescued him from the pound. His coat was mottled, and he was blind in one eye. But he's a sweetie. She named him Pinto Bean, and everyone calls him Bean.

G'day Shane... Had a grin with your poem. A dachshund must feel it on a frosty morning with those stumpy legs. Regards - Lindsay

Hi lindsay, Thanks for stopping by to read my work. I suppose though if he was cold he could trot on the spot until he got hot or canoodle a Poodle while eating some strudel! Have a wonderful day Shane xxx
