My Girl Cooty-brown
By Lisa Noe


You were a sweet little girl
Half chawhoawhoa and half pug
You were a little funny looking
But I loved you anyway.
You were took to soon from me
I found you suffering by the side
Of the road. I don’t know what
Happened, if a larger dog got you
Or a car. I just know my heart is broken.
You are no more in my life.
I buried you beside your brothers
Near the garden side. I shall never forget
You---special as you could be.
Nothing or no one was ever as happy
As you seemed. You’d bounce around
And hop on my knees you always knew how
To please.
