It Was in the Way She Looked at You
Because animals know best
I watched you playing, from the bridge.
Your eyes fixed on her.
She ran to you, across the grass,
dropped the frisbee at your feet.
And something in the way she looked at you,
through those trusting, chocolate eyes,
told me, assuredly,
you were a man that I could love.

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

Very charming Cathy. Like the perspective. 🙂
man, do they know or what
So sweet and so true!
Oh, this is so lovely, Cathy! Very clever and such a sweet sentiment! Dogs can be great judges of character!
This blew me away - soooo good!!
So if she bites him, it's a no-go, then? What if it's a love bite? Well-wrought!
To me, a person who doesn't love animals or vice versa can never have a place in my heart. Loved your poem so much!
Yep. There has to be a maxim that says animal lovers make the best lovers.
Animals do know best. Beautiful Cathy.
So lovely. You can trust a man who's good with dogs. Probably. Great work.
Puppy seals the deal!
So beautiful! Pets always seem to know people best!
Awwww, the dog’s seal the deal! Loved this poem and your contrarian approach to the challenge!
Ah, that faithful moment when your furry friend lets you know he's the one!! Simply the best moment of all!!
Wonderful poem! Great work
Delightful, Cathy this made me smile, Loved it!
Canine and feline judgments of character are generally on the mark. Nice work!
Gorgeous work Cathy!
