Best Friends ……Forever

You may think it sappy, to be so unhappy over a mere pup but, you surely must see;
This puppy was Poppy! Though her ears weren’t floppy, she was the cutest pup that you’d ever see!

If her ears had been droopy, we might have called her Snoopy, but it simply was not meant to be!
For she was one of a kind, none else you could find, and none could be better than she!

To the barn without fail, always wagging her tail, to work she never missed a day!
To go for a stroll, perhaps for a roll, or find a stick that could put her away!

With a wardrobe quite snappy, she was always so happy, as she merrily trotted on her way.
And she never got yappy, heaven forbid ever snappy, just what out-fit to wear for the day?

Perhaps the red cape, to accentuate her cute little shape, which collar, the red or the plaid?
The girl was so beguiling, she always was styling, and oh so exquisitely clad!

Cause she always looked chic, with her figure so sleek, and for that special occasion,
The collar with the bling, for that special fling, could always cause a sensation!

Now it sure was so crappy, when Poppy wasn’t happy, so we were all so very well trained;
To fetch her a toy, was simply pure joy, as her pep could be quite unrestrained!

Embracing each child, always mellow and mild, she was the best hostess there ever could be;
Sharing each toy, with every cute little boy, was a joy for us all here to see!

Some said she was nippy, they were just being snippy, why did they so denigrate?
Just a little cut on the nose, the kid came too close, no need to get into a state!

Just a little blood, like it wasn’t a flood, she was just being a little bit silly!
She was just having fun, why the kid should have run, no need to get all willy-nilly!

Boots weren’t her thing, they just weren’t flattering, besides, they might make her trip.
Just cause others made fun, when she started to run, didn’t mean that she looked like a drip.

But, no never mind, though some were unkind, she always gave love from the heart.
Eternally faithful, forever grateful, we wished that we never would part.

Kisses galore, were always in store, with a warm joyful squiggly embrace!
With unconditional love, you were a gift from above, bringing a smile to everyone’s face!

So, Dear little Poppy, forgive me for getting sloppy, but there’s just one thing we simply must say.
No words can be spoken, to describe our hearts that are broken, as we miss you more every day.

For right from the start, our little Pop-Tart, you were amazingly loyal and true.
And to her Mom, for her, without any qualm, there was no better human than you!
