Poem #7- Mama Star

Rooney quickly decided that Star, my then twelve-year-old lab, would be his new mama.  She accepted the job, albeit a little begrudgingly.

   

"Mama Star"

Does not look like Mama Uma,

Does not smell like Mama Uma,

A little grumpy,

But she will have to do.

I snuggle close.

"From Star"

(a haiku)

I did not order
this yellow velcro buddy
send him back right now.
