NOT MY DOG
You’re not my dog
But I could be. I would be, if you’d have me.
I’d be your very good boy
I would, I would, I would!
You’re not my dog
We could do such things together
We could we could we could though,
Couldn’t we?
I’m not even a dog person.
Amazing. That’s my favourite. Nor am I!
I’m a people puppy. A really good boy!
Am I good boy? I am! I am! I am!
And I’m yours.
You’re not my dog!
O love the way you say that, it’s so funny!
It’s the best fun ever being your dog.
YOU’RE NOT MY DOG
Love it!
You’re the best owner I’ve ever had.
Ever.
Love not my dog. Wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas and a fantastic New Year ?
Here’s a wee poem
You’re not my cow
You’re not my cow
Moo!
?????
Cheers Gerry,
and the very same* to you (and yours)
*That’s a wonderful Christmas, not saying Moo to you (or yours)
I was given my grand-dad’s lifetime treasured Christmas present, a couple of years ago; an audio recording of ‘You’re not my dog’ with some of your ‘Where Earwigs Dare’ hound, potato and bovine tributes. My grand-daughters- in Totnes, Rosie 7 and Martha 5, defined your work in the most fitting way ! I am reminded of you today having see Little Soldier Comapny in ‘Journey to the Impossible’. Thanks Matt -maybe see you one day, in Paris or Totnes !
Thank you Andy, great to get your message – warmed the cockles (& the crocodiles) of my heart. I’d love to hear that audio one day!
Actually, I think that’s my dog ?
Haha!
(I always wondered who’s dog it was…)
Dear Matt
I read your article in the October “Resurgence” magazine – “The thing is – but where?’ and I particularly liked the idea of blank sheets of paper not having a shallow end. Jumping in can be dangerous. Needless to say, I liked your poem very much and Claudia Schmid’s perfect illustration. Thank you for writing it. Thank you both.
Sincerely
Jasmine Plant.
ps I hope the lady took in the dog.
