A Series of Haiku's and Poetry for the Pandemic

by a Labrador retriever

My siblings are scared

I don’t get treats any more,

and something is wrong.

(by the Labrador retriever on toilet paper)

These big, white, flaky rolls

make my people so anxious,

maybe I’ll eat one.

My owners don’t care

So I chew on white rolls

Oh, maybe they do.

mom holds her red box

she displays my shamefulness,

won’t do it again.

(by the same Labrador retriever on the garbage can and pooping)

Those sweet smells will taunt

me no longer, I just push,

and then yum, yum, yum.

Usually gone,

but now home all day with me,

way better than treats.

run up the hill fast,

poop a lot, yank the leash too,

trot down the hill slow.

(a Limerick by a 12 year old Poet)

Man! Everyone is scared of getting sick

Any TP’s fine, don’t take time to pick,

school’s out for six weeks,

older people may be weak,

hurry up and get all the TP quick.
