The Anonymous Poetry of Daschunds

This anonymous poem is in JFK's "Profiles in Courage" book (see post directly below this one!). I cracked the biggest smile after reading this. This is such corn! But I love it.

    There was a daschund once, so long
    He hadn't any notion
    How long it took to notify
    His tail of his emotion;
    And so it happened, while his eyes
    Were filled with woe and sadness,
    His little tail went wagging on
    Because of previous gladness.

  • Mike! It's Laura "I will eat your pets" Passin. I started a blogspot account ALMOST SOLELY to be able to comment on your blog, which I've been reading. If I can keep up with all my college friends via LJ, I can certainly keep up with you via blogspot. I also will probably end up having mine be a writing/trying to get back into academica blog, so you'll have something to read, too.

  • I'm sorry, Laura, but Blogspot ain't big enough for the both of us. No, just kidding. So great to see you on here! Now whenever I post bad poetry, you can call me names and ruin my reputation! Hehe...thanks for the note and looking forward to reading your blog.
