Click hereWe've got it figured out
the dog and I
can explain the situation.
It's like this, we rank
somewhere behind
Tivo'd boxing and NASCAR.
The dog and I
found the remote, wedged
between recliner cushions.
We purchased extra beer
new batteries and left him
a note in the kitchen-
Lasagna, microwave on high
3 minutes, remove plastic lid,
stir.
'and stir' indeed, how did I miss this poem? My loss, it is so good, why the hell it didn't get one of those green thingies is beyond me.
The dog and I. The poem is built around this phrase. It is so good I winced. I wish i could write like this .It seems to come so easily but I know this is real talent and practice working together.

... from one of the best poets on the site! You say so much in a few, well-chosen words. Excellent, if poignant, poem.

If you substitute Red Sox for NASCAR, I'm red faced.
Delightful poem!
"The dog and I" is a great phrase, for me, in this poem. I picture you and the dog together, like a couple of girlfriends who are talking about your man and deciding what to do about the situation.
I go out of my way to find him something good to watch that is just men's stuff so he will leave me in peace on the computer!
....to vote and now your comment option is open once more I'm back to say this is going into my favourites - which have been sadly neglected lately.<p>

Beautiful (if sad) my dear sister. Kinda reminds me of my old poem After I Loved You, you know? Anyway, your poem works so well, imo, because it focuses on the little details of daily life. And the equation with the dog and link to the dog's perspective is very good--a world of metaphor in that. You did a nice job with the edit. You have a lot of talent. xxoo, S.
