Feisty Bell Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin

Feisty Bell

Rating: 5.0


She whizzed through everything
Faster than the speed of a sound
She barks and chases swiftly
All things
Which are small and squeaky
That landed in the vicinity.

She was just a year and a half
When she joined me
In my solitary life
She was a gift
From a nephew.

She was named Taco Bell
Afraid that she will be named names
Like Burrito and Chorizo
I dropped Taco
And called her simply Bell.

The first time I carried her
I held her up
On top of my head
But she made a mark
I ended baptized
For the second time.

She is the house alarm every 4: 00 a.m.
The early warning device
For a tornado watch
And acts as the doorbell woman
For every delivery man.

Some years ago
I left her for a month
I went to a far away land
Across the Pacific Ocean
In a country called
The Pearl of the Orient Seas.

When I got home
I brought with me
A beautiful wife
Feisty Bell
Barked for the longest time.

One dark morning
Feisty Bell chased my wife
But the latter
Is a corker
She cannot be outwitted
By a four legged.

My wife meted Bell
A penalty of suspension
Of thirty days
From her favorite treats
Bacon and jerky.

Now there are two
Feisty women
In the house
My beautiful wife
And my adorable Bell.

A beautiful account of a pet dog! Dogs are such adorable creatures. Some chase every rodent and nothing escapes their attention! When outsiders come, they bark and alert us! The name Bell sounds so apt for this cute dog which serves as an alarm bell and wakes up the inmates of the house at 4.00 am!
