Should Have Gone To Speck Savers!

Poem Body

Brut! Go to her, say you’re sorry!
APOLOGISE!
She cries!!
Use those big brown eyes!

Do you see her my mastiff friend?
She’s over there!
Eh! Where?
No! don’t look, don’t stare!

Let's act as if we don’t see her
Come on! Let’s go!
No, no!
Slowly amigo!

Act casually, watch me, like this!
Do this! Be quick.
That’s slick!
This is the “limp trick”.

She’s coming! Now give her “THE LOOK”!
Ops! It’s a cow!
What! how?
Got it wrong somehow!

We should have gone to spec savers
Look! There’s your wife!
My “WIFE”?
Ah! Run for your life!

About This Poem

Last Few Words: This is a really stupid poem about two dogs ( a chihuahua - done with a Mexicon accent and Brut a big mastiff ). It's not a serious write - just a bit of fun. He he Spec savers is a where you buy glasses. I hope it makes sense. It's supposed to go with a picture.

It is a bit of fun.

I was going to correct your spelling (it's what I do) on Brut until you told me it was a name. Normally it would need an "e".
Less act as if we don’t see her... otherwise I think you need "let's".
This is terribly cute and it's nice to see someone around here writing a little whimsy.

Hi Wesley

Soo good to see you! I hope all is well with you. ;) Glad you understood it. Ha ha My husband didn't.

Gives me hope that others will understand it. It's hard to visualize without a picture! But I'm glad you managed it.

Thanks for reading and commenting. ( I've made the corrections - thanks for your help ).

Take care

Love Mand xxxxx

Don't worry overmuch about being understood.

Someone once said that when a poem is being read it is not the poet being judged... but the reader.

Thanks Wesley!

That's a refreshing way of looking at it!

I will have to remember that when reading other peoples poems. He he :)

Sorry

Couldn't read this one, my optician made my glasses wrong, bye, i just managed to recognise your picture, Yours Ian

Ha ha

I "see" you got the drift. Ha ha

Just a bit of fun - we need a laugh sometimes don't we. .

Thanks Ian - Take care!!

Btw we have Spec Savers here in Australia :) OH and in your footnote I had to laugh Spec Savers for classes or glasses ? hehe

Hi JC Glad it made you smile ( It was worth posting it for that alone ) :)

I like their adverts ( the one where he shears the sheep dog ) .. Ha ha

Ha ha - I'll make the correction! Trust me!

Keep safe - Thanks for coming by to read and comment - ( I'll have to call you an Aussie warrior from now on ). Te he

I was definitely in need of something light hearted and this really did the trick, I haven't seen the advert where he shears the sheep or maybe I missed it ? I will look and see if I can find the ad online I am always up for a laugh :) he he

I noticed the typo and I laughed out loud, its something I would do LOL
