Dead game and trying to scratch poem

Yeah, on a serious note, I did enjoy the real poems on this thread. What Willeypete posted just hit me funny and I was in a good mood so I thought I'd have some fun with it.

 

Very nice poems, Yardboy... lol


I really do like Betrayal.

 

to bad the book that he talked about never was writen he really wanted it

 

The show is on,it's gonna be a thriller.The judge came this morning,his name is George Schiller,my dog's got a chance to win,he's got some conformation,we might have 3 honored dogs today,the largest in the nation.
I dont like to fool around, I wanna win best in show I traveled 400 miles today I'm tired as hell ya know.To Virginia from manhattan,I heard this man will be here today,his name is Richard Stratton.It's fun I guess it's how you look at it,but myself I prefer the pit.These people breed for looks alone you know these dog's will quit.It's funny the car next to me with three bull's in the back seat,if I tried that with my little dogs they'd be called chopmeat.
These dogs should not at all be bred to leave the gameness out,soon we'll have a bunch of staff's running all about.
The object of this little story is not to get carried away,
for to keep this breed alive,try for gameness it's the only way!!!

The poems were awesome and a damn good read,
sitting in my snuggie smoking some weed.
The game dog is the chosen one only owned by few,
like a loaded gun it knows what to do.

 

This is not a poem but appropriate none the less.

A Tribute to the Dog

'Gentlemen of the Jury: The best friend a man has in this world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful.
Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name, may become traitors to their faith.
The money that a man has, he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it the most.
A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads.
The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him and the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog.
'Gentlemen of the Jury, a man's dog stands by him prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness.
He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side.
He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with the roughness of the world.
He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince.
When all other friends desert he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is a constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens.
If fortune drives the master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies, and...
When the last scene of all comes, and death takes the master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even to death.'
