Outsmarted Again--By Peter Dome--United Kingdom

Outsmarted Again

Banana sandwich
bread and jam
piece of cake
slice of ham
well done steak
Turn around to get a plate
from a rack

Gone!

Two little innocent faces
with wagging tails
staring back.

Hi, my name is Pete. I live in Sheffield, U.K. I hope you enjoy my poems. I look forward to reading yours. My best wishes. Pete.

  5. Hi Peter,
    Your poem gave me a great laugh. I know our pets would prefer to eat human food. LOL But stealing it just doesn't seem right. Maybe next time you can put your food out of their reach -- unless you don't mind sharing it! Very funny! Best wishes for 2014, Carolyn Devonshire

  7. Peter, I loved loved loved the poem. It was so well written and reminded me of my own little pooch with her innocent eyes when she does something she shouldn't. As much trouble as they can be at times, aren't they a joy. Thank you so much for sharing this delightful poem.
