Declaration of Independent Joy

[the mingo]

Let's get something straight
in case you're or so ready
to make a mistake,
I don't give a shit
about world peace,
injustice,
inequality,
racism,
feminism,
and every other ism
genocide,
suicide,
democrat or republican
or man's sad & rapid descent
into civilization

I haven't given a flat fuck
who the hell is president
or wants to be
since the days of Thomas Jefferson -

I'm going to take
my beagle for a walk now
we have three feet of new snow
you ain't seen nothin'
if you ain't seen a beagle
tackle three feet of new snow
it will crack you up
he never gives up even as he sinks
down
out
of
sight
in that three feet of new snow
and claws his way back to the surface
to do it all over again
with joy

[saw]

finding joy can be elusive....democracy was hijacked a long time ago by bad actors....the wise man knows...Beagles in Snow are better than anything...so make sure everyday you look for that joy...it's probably right in front of you...and when you find it...give a big wet dog kiss

[stilltrucking]

every child should have a puppy and get to watch it grow up into a loving friend then get old and die. die a good death and go to puppy dog heaven

break our hearts while we are still young
make us stronger for the long run

I wish I was half the man my dog thinks I am t.m.

thanks for the poem

it don't matter who is in D.C>
this is puppy dog heaven

Well good for you.

[WIREMAN]

a wired chuckle thinking bout that lil beagle

[judih]

the story in front of us
is the story to be told

[mnaz]

but which one?

[sasha]

three feet of snow
no obstacle
to a yellow lab
determined to exhume
last week's poop

Mine does that too and here we are talking about shit and the dogs who eat it.
