Maya Memory




   
Bury all the bones
No rodents allowed
Maya was a baritone
With Volume set at Loud! 
Embedded plastic squeakers
Torn from stuffing new
They last eleven seconds
Then nothing left to chew.

Endeared, Long eared 
Majestic prancing trait
Sometimes a little jumpy
Always close the gate

Squirrels whirl and twirl
But never land in range
Of watchful Big-Brown-Eye's
Explosive door exchange.

Four seconds deck-to-fence
Lawn worn to dirt-and-dust
Her domain beyond the compound
In sight at risk she must.
She was a very lumpy pillow
She was a pointy-headed brain
She previewed through the dog door
Before venturing into rain.
