I have fallen in love and it will most certainly be forever
But what if my love is unlike any other?
Sure she has her quirks
Sure she may be a little odd
But she's always there for me
She never really complains
I treat her really nice
And in turn she treats me well
She's not like any other
She's usually up for a game of catch
She enjoys going hunting with me and the buds
She actually fits in with them real well
She doesn't care what we watch on T.V.
Just as long as she's spending time with me
She's not shy in the slightest
She'll go up to complete strangers and give them a real big smile
She has big beautiful brown eyes
Her hair is a beautiful golden that glistens in the sun
When she speaks it just touches your inner soul
I know of no other like her
She does have a her negative points too
Sometimes she'll take up the whole bed
Or she'll eat way too much
She can't make any money
She has a little bladder problem
And every now and again she'll have a little accident
She doesn't usually pick up after her messes
She doesn't bathe regularly
She gets flees and ticks from time to time
Her breath can be so utterly horrid
She's not too well trained
Quite disobedient from time to time
But despite all her down falls I still love her
Me and my wife have named her Rover

I can most definately see why you have won a silver trophy with this one. I like you at the begining it sounds as if you are talking about an actually female and then the more you read the more you realize it is about a female DOG! I am not sure why you feel your humor poetry isn't any good, because I have yet to stop laughing from the ones that I have read by you. Anyways, best of wishes dear poet.

This was just too awesome. At first when I read this, I was wondering how it was going to turn out to be funny, then all of the sudden it became clear where you were going. I really liked this. It was a clever one for sure.

This is great, the realisation that you were writing about a dog dawned on me gradually I think towards the end before I got to the flee clue. I am not a great dog lover but I appreciate that they are just like people and give a lot of love. Great write.
-
by line 10 I figured you were talking about a dog.
However, that doesn't make it any less funny!
Good luck in the contest.
Write On!

OMG, you really had me going here. I just wanna reach out and slug you (in a friendly gesture, I think). I'm thinking, wow, this is such a sweet geniune poem for the gal that he loves and then you start noting her faults and I'm thinking -"Okay, that's enough, don't spill all the beans" But when you got to the part about not bathing, I knew something was fishy....
Good job on this unpredictable write. L)) -
this is really cute

I absolutely love it, how it starts out making me think you're talking about your wife or lover, and only at the end do you reveal the fact that you're talking about your dog. Excellent write. By the way, thanks for your comment on my poem.
-
this was neat. i really enjoyed reading it, although it WAS a little predictable. but thank you so much for sharing.
-
Great write! At first I thought you were talking about the love of your life.. Than I realized that something was a little weird with some of the end lines.. LOL.. It was really good. And the ending made it all the better.. Thanks for the laugh!

This is great
I know who you love, so at first, I was touched by your truthfulness in love. And then, was a little confused at the bladder control, but still accepting. And then, pleasantly surprized at the end 
Wonderful write
-
Superb
Excellent twist. At first I thought this was a love poem to your wife. Then you got to the negatives and I identify with some of them. "Hey. I must be a real bitch." LOL. I mean that word as a double entendre not totally swearing because I am now a Christian and normally that language bothers me.
Great write. -
this is a very good peice and by the way thank you for sharing and thank you for commenting on one of my poems

ROLF...LMAO....This is SOO cute. I have never owned a pet but always wanted to...just can't right now. I wouldn't care about all that I would still love her too. Great Write...you had me confused for a minute or two and then the end is what really made me understand.

This made me think of this ad I read:
SBF Seeks Male companionship, ethnicity unimportant.
I'm a svelte good-looking girl who LOVES to play. I love long walks in the woods, riding in your pickup truck, hunting, camping, fishing trips,and cozy winter nights spent lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand.
I'll be at the front door when you get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me. Kiss me and I'm yours.
Call 555-XXXX and ask for Daisy.

This is so adorable, I got a new puppy and the FIRST thing it did when it came to my house was poop right on my bed.. GRRR.. LOL Anyway I loved reading this you did a really good job and I love my puppy even though he poops in the wrong places sometimes. Hmpf. Oh yeah his name is Dinkus.

LOL. I, too had my suspicions near the beginning that this was a dog but maybe that's because I'm a dog person so I picked right up on it
. Nice write, very enjoyable.
-
Very cute.... a little predictable, I could tell near the beginning that it was a dog. Possibly if I didn't know it was a humorous poem, I would have not predicted the twist, anyway, nice write.
-
This was so cute! i was kinda scared at the bladder problem, but i loved how in the end you brought it all together...

lol, at first it was starting to scary me that you had someone with a bladder problem and wow yeah this was funny made me laugh
