Brody

   
 

By: Mrs. Sy Baron

 
 
 

For the holidays we flew back east to visit our children and grandchildren.  Everyone was fawning over the new addition to the family.  My husband and I were dismayed when we realized their 'kvelling' (pride) was ridiculous, if not absurd. 

 

 
My kids and I disagree
That we shall never see
A dog as ugly as their Brody

Not a member of the canine bourgeoisie

He's a dog wannabe
Who looks more like a coyote.
How can they think he's cute to any degree
Unless they've been hitting the Chablis.
Every other week he's at the vet on the gurney
Something wrong with his eye or his knee.
They kvell at everything they see
Oh my, look at Brody pee.

It's beyond a tolerable degree

And pains me to see
How they treat him like he's the perfect pedigree
Instead of what he is, a trailer trash mutt from Tennessee
