A Doggerel for Penny by Ann Putnam
After somewhat jokingly saying that my sweet Penny should act as a muse for a poetry pal looking for a subject, I was rewarded with today’s poem. Written within the last 24 hours, it’s already received accolades.
Cute. Penny simply inspires everybody she touches.

That Penny “doggerel” is awesome. What a hoot!

A Doggerel for Penny
By Ann Putnam
She rules the roost at “Penny” Lane.
(Carina’s learned to hop it.)
And if you start to scratch her ears,
don’t ever plan to stop it.
With her nose she’ll nudge
’til you pet, pet, pet.
Piggy and Ella
she’ll quite forget.
But you won’t mind
as you scratch, scratch, scratch.
Her affection
is quite a catch!!!!
