Another Poem by Toby

February 19, 2011 09:35 by Donna

As Toby nears the end of his bed-rest, he is keeping himself busy writing poetry and asked me to share his latest creation:

I’m ready to Play
         By Toby the Lab

I’m fed up with not playing
Can you hear what I’m saying?

I demand a new vet
My needs were not met

I missed out on the snow
Because of that Schmoe

He said not to run
Took away all my fun

Swollen leg still a riddle
But I feel fit as a fiddle

My ear is still goopy
It’s no wonder I’m loopy

I’ve stole enough shoes
And ate enough chews

I’ve torn enough mail
To fill a large pail

After twenty games of ‘Touch’
I don’t like it so much

They bent many a rule
(The sofa was cool)

But I’m ready to play
So get out of my way!

How sweet is that face? I love the poem, Toby. Scout would have seconded your sentiments while she was healing from being spayed. She was ready to play!

Toby says thank you. He's trying to look tough there - but he's a Lab like your little Scout, so...

Poor Toby. During a recent dinner visit at the 'Toby State Penitentiary' the inmate kept bringing over a toy . . sometimes sneaking the contraband to a side blind to the warden, hoping  . . pining for just one retrieve. Or a quick game of tug! With an Eeyore like countenance and disconsolate eyes saying, "Come on! The warden rarely stays mad for long." Poor Toby.

Glad to hear you're sprung. Looking forward to a good game of tug real soon, if that is permitted in the terms of your parole.

Toby says he will be glad to play tug with you Will. He knows you brought him a brand new toy and is just dying to try it out. (When he's off parole, LOL!)
