Precious!

Uruswati Mehra 2010 (Tamil Nadu)

Free verse
My dog was sleeping on her comfy bed

Sleeping without care,

She woke up suddenly as I called in for food.

And tripped on her feeding bowl!

She ate kibbles for dinner

Dipping her prolonged ears!

She got food on her muzzle

And dragged her bowl to another room.

She rushed to the bedroom

Where my other dog's bowl lay,

She was halfway to the bowl when she realized,

She had to take a wee, but went for a nap instead!.
