A day of rotten weather. There is hardly anything to read on Suls either. Tired of reading about Taslima, Scarlett, Mumbai...... The imbecile mind at work to produce some half-wit poems on my beloved pets. After all, there are many poems on Sulekha but none as insane as these! Hope others have some verses to contribute about their pets too.

Mrs. Bloo Mungojerry D'berry. St.John the goon
went to meet Mungojerry D'berry. St.John at the saloon
when all of a sudden she looked up and saw the moon
and her naughty, scheming mind asked for a boon

to get rid of old Mungo D. St.John for good
so then she could get anything, depending on her mood
which includes loots of delicious, yummy food.
Now Bloo dear, never does brood!

******

Bloo and Mungo D. St. John went for a stroll in the park
the moon was not up, it was rather dark
no sign of the fox, nor of the lark
Bloo bayed and Mungo answered with a sincere bark

Both of them had driven in Mungo's car,
after having a drink or two at the bar
on the way back home the car tire caught in the newly-laid road tar
mean Bloo said ta-ta and hitchhiked a ride back to the bar!

******

Bloo the goon had recently joined the town's ‘Hyena gang’
their job included taking ‘suparis’ and letting people hang
one such day, at Bloo's home the phone rang
"You've been given a task, now go with Chang!"

Alas Bloo did not know that Mungo was the one
who had to be gotten rid of by someone
Noble Bloo did not think this was any fun
so she bumped off Chang and told boss the job was done!

******

Bloo is the world's sweetest pet, maybe
She sleeps next to her Mother like a baby
part setter, part retriever doggie,

Mostly noble, occasionally grabby

Thieves and robbers are always welcome
honest folks who come without goodies are not any fun
she loves friends who take her out for a run
but she does not live up to her breed - the dogs of the gun!

She is clean and dainty and hates frolicking in the mud
favourite foods are cheese, milk sweets and the 'umble spud,
she thinks Kaalu is a fool and Mungo a dud,
she hates pesky parrots, mice and cows that chew on the cud!

Her ancestors and she belong to a noble breed
from the land of bagpipes, whisky and tweed
she has some bad habits, an occasional liking to weed
but she always condemns any bad deed

She shares the fun if she sees you laughing
she's there to lick away your tears in times of crying
well...but I warn you - don't laugh at her..
She finds that demeaning and annoying!

You can expect lots of fun when Bloo is with you
Days, months and years pass by with lots to do
She's still kind to you even if your love isn't true
With her, you'll find that being good is a task long overdue!

OK, I guess enough of the sentimental stuff
If you truly adore Bloo, say yes, don't bluff!
Get her some goodies - cakes, biscuits or a jam and cream puff
I'll stop writing here, i guess this much is enough!
