Ella is my sausage dog, <br />Her legs are undersize, <br />Her tail wags like a metronome, <br />Her brown eyes mesmerize. <br /> <br />Ella's nose is polished black, <br />Her sense of smell's acute, <br />Her stomach is an endless pit, <br />She's really rather cute. <br /> <br />She's fond of eating Rom the cat, <br />He doesn't seem to mind. <br />She bites his neck and chews his head. <br />She isn't very kind. <br /> <br />She also chases cockatoos <br />And lies beside the fire <br />Upon her back like snoopy dog <br />Replete with Mr. Tyre.* <br /> <br />Ella is my dearest love. <br />I walk her every day <br />I know she loves me eagerly, <br />She licks my face away! <br /> <br />*Mr. Tyre is her favorite toy, a present from the one who feeds her.<br /><br />Alison Cassidy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-ella-a-little-doggerel/
