Living with Border Collies

Walter Mandeville 1964 (Bitburg)

July 22 
Free verse
Pretty Polley the Border Collie, born with a silver spoon.
Hansome Pal ,he met this gal, an orphan he was too soon.
Became close friends was their great boon, chase frisbees and balls and. laser beams on walls, they danced by the light of the golden harvest moon.  Winter warmth and summer soccer champs were there for you every step of the way. Some say they’re neurotic but without them I’d be psychotic.  It’s all just living with Border Collies.
