Poem #23- Raising Rooney- "A Gentleman"


Rooney is a man of strong opinions. What he likes, he likes. What he doesn't like, he doesn't like. Getting in and out of the car has been a huge issue. Service dogs are supposed to ride in the hatchback. Rooney much prefers the back seat. It's only in the last couple of weeks that he has consented to jump into the back of my RAV4.

"A Gentleman"

I am a gentleman, Mama.
Gentlemen do not leap 
gracelessly into the back of the car.
Instead someone
(ummm, that would be you, mama)
needs to open the back door,
no, not the door on the passenger side,
and definitely not the hatchback,
someone needs to  open the back door 
on the driver's side,
and I will step delicately, 
first onto the floor, and then onto the seat,
and arrange myself for the ride. 
I am a gentleman, Mama,
Gentlemen do not leap 
gracelessly into the back of the car.

Don't you wonder why this opinion from Rooney? I love you making the connection to Rooney and being a gentleman, Carol! This is going to make a super book for him!

I think he doesn't like the back b/c it's too far away from Mama.
