Friday Haiku: Puppy Sitter

Put pups in a swing

It’s the only place where they

Stay out of trouble.


Sam, 5 month old Australian Shepherd, says it’s also a rocket ship, a race car and an airplane, Mallory K.!

    So it floats your boat
    But what do I get from this
    A pain in the tail

    Pupster feels the same
    Just a dif-rent point of view
    Tangled up in blue

    Folding up a pup
    Into a swing for babies
    Ends in bucket butt

  7. trixandsam says:

    Sam waits patiently
    (As he stares at his big paws)
    For his next growth spurt

    Happiness for all

  11. Gigi says:

  12. Mary (the first) says:

    Soon this pup will be
    Too big for the swing. Then what?
    No fun? Or frisbees?

  13. Copperbat says:

    The breeze on my face!
    Rewind. The breeze on my face!
    Less pix, more pushing!

  14. Birdcage says:

    Long suffering dog;
    Regards his human, perplexed;
    Serenity now.

    “What the heck do you MEAN if I need to swing my legs back and forth to get this thing to go?! Are you KIDDING ME with that?!

  16. Robin Kiesel says:

    Puppy in a pot
    Nose and tosies everywhere
    flapping tail and ears

  17. I know not a Haiku but it made me think if this totally fun song!

    John Anderson
    We were Swingin

    There’s a little girl, in our neighborhood
    Her name is Charlotte Johnson and she’s really lookin good
    I had to go and see her, so I called her on the phone
    I walked over to her house, and this was goin’ on

    Her brother was on the sofa, eatin’ chocolate pie
    Her moma was in the kitchen cuttin’ chicken up to fry
    Her daddy was in the back yard rollin up a garden hose
    I was on the porch with Charlotte feelin’ love down to my toes

    Chorus:
    And we were swingin’ (swinging)
    Yes we were swingin’ (swinging)
    Little Charlotte she’s as pretty as the angels when they sing
    I can’t believe I’m out here on the front porch swing
    Just a swingin’ (swingin) Just a swingin’ (swingin)

    Now Charlotte she’s a darlin she’s the apple of my eye
    When I’m on the swing with her it makes me almost high
    Now Charlotte is my lover and she has been since the spring
    I can’t believe it started on her front porch in the swing

  18. Blue Footed Booby says:

    swing with four leg holes
    but none of them occupied
    butt is all you need

  19. ThirdShift says:

    True story, I took my little beagle (before the greyhound) onto a porch swing, the old fashion kind, you know, on a porch, that rocked very gently. I swung, and she swung, we all swung, and I though a good time was had by all, until I took her off the swing and she went bluerphwafflebleurph. Didn’t know a dog of that size had that much stuffing. Maybe some dogs don’t like swings. Ya know? Like some dogs get car sick.

    Pup in a bucket
    Sez “Onoez, the swing stopped! Halp?”
    I’ll give him a push.

  21. dubyah1 says:

    I’m like Gepetto:
    Just a puppeh on a swing
    Is the boss of me

  22. Patricia says:

    Very sweet face!

  23. blair says:

    there once was a pup in a swing
    who wrote a haiku he could sing
    o won’t someone push
    my furry lil toosh? my schnozz
    will enjoy the breeze.
    ding!
