Hahahahahahahahahaha- - You are a delight to read from your serious poetry to your humorous ones. Happy puppy dog pills! ! ! ! ! !

I absolutely love reading you, top poet! 10+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

No pills in particular. I wrote this when I was wishing for a pill that would cure whatever ailed...and imagined how fun it would be to feel like a puppy. Thanks Savita! :)
