Morning Ode to Nuggie

Happy Good Morning, my darling little Friend,
Happy Dog Day to you, my dearest little Darling,
last night you snuggled so warmly between us,
was there any other bliss than that, and now
you are so beautiful this morning, yes, you are
so beautiful today, I love your little bat ears,
you have the best little ears of anyone
in the whole world, better than any dog
or bat, I love to rub your sweet little ears,
so soft, so perfectly formed, a miracle really,
I kiss your ears, I rub your darling walnut head,
such a dear petite little head and perfect snout,
the dearest head, the cutest ears, so lovingly
you lick my hand, so gently you love-bite
my fingers with your tiny teeth, you are
our little sweetheart, our doll baby child,
you aren’t a dog, you’re a magical being,
a fairy elf of a friend, a tiny dancing darling,
with such delicate little feet, the tiniest of toes,
and now you open wide your sweet little mouth
to yawn — big yawn — and I am yawning with you!
