Full Of The Joys Of Spring Poem by Angela Wybrow

Today, I saw a little Dachshund, out and about;
That he was full of beans, I had very little doubt.
He was more than ready to play life's great game;
He was as playful and lively, as a flickering flame.

The little Dachshund almost bounced along;
His soul was excited, and his will was strong.
Determined to live that moment to the very full,
At his lead, the little chap strained and pulled.

The great outdoors, he was so very eager to explore;
Round each corner, he wondered what was in store.
I had no doubt that he was full of the joys of spring;
He would have almost taken off, if he'd had wings!

His endless energy seemed to know no bounds;
His senses soaked up all of life's sights and sounds.
The Dachshund may have been only small in height,
But watching his sheer vitality, was such a real delight.

I walked along, watching him for a short while;
Upon my lips, there spread a rather amused smile.
His mistress turned, and spotted my smiling face,
And she commented on her dog's very keen pace.

He may have been small, and only had little limbs,
But with the spirit of life, he was full to the brim.
I was on my way to work, and so I had to go;
So, I left him behind, with his mistress in tow.
