Don’t Be Cruel Comments

I agree with Adam, this poem reveals a great relationship and sense of humor. Very entertaining. -chuck

there's a lot of tenderness going on under the surface of this poem, preseumably you and your wife and it's clever in that way because it's this interplay and familiarity between you and your wife that's the real story of the poem while on paper it's about the dog outside.

Is is because I live in Las Vegas, land of many Elvis look-alikes that I am hearing the title of this poem sung loud and clear? How on earth you thought of working Elvis into this poem about a cold tin roof shows your creativity. I liked it, Michael. Raynette

Great poem Michael! Dogs can be real life-savers. I love the last part about the Elvis hip-shake and sneer...........I can see it clearly. Very nice. Sincerely, Mary
