Practically Furniture –
A Limericked Fete on a Favorite Pet
Our sweet retriever, we concur,
Is practically furniture.
In rays of sun,
She comes undone,
And ever sleeps without a stir.
Her golden tumbleweeds roll by,
Beneath the sofa multiply,
Without a care,
She lounges there,
Until a shadow makes her cry.
At such, she jumps to full alert,
And barks her head off, as if hurt,
If wind should blow
Or folks tiptoe,
For now her hearing does desert.
Protective skills she has forgot.
But she can yelp
And cry for help,
And raise a ruckus all for naught.

Your poem is too cute! I have a great big rottweiler and he spends more time on the sofa then we do.

I loved this, I love the idea of dogs being furniture~ as my dog often offers himself as a pillow for me to rest upon.
