Wiggly Woggle

A poem by Grandpa inspired by a morning walk with me and Truffle.

Oh! wiggly woggle of truncated feet!
Oh! doggie of disposition sweet!
Who shrunk your height and length I pray
by snipping away at your DNA?

Dachshund Daddy doesn't really like "truncated feet".



He would prefer to replace it with "gentle webbed feet". After a heated e-mail exchange, Grandpa peremptorily stated the following:

HER FEET BE SHORT.....NO TWO WAYS 'BOUT IT.....I HAVE SPOKEN.

Which version do YOU like best? I can't decide.

    How about 'delicate feet'?

    "Truncated' feet seems a bit harsh. 'delicate feet' does have the right number of syllables..however, we think it's a good poem.

    I like truncated feet! Delicate feet do not wiggle woggle. I would argue that no one snipped at your length though! :) x
