A Christmas puppy poem

Co-authored by Michael Glass and Rob Hurd

Some say “Don’t buy a puppy for Christmas”...I disagree.

Some Say “It gets lost in the shuffle”...under the tree.

Don’t buy that diamond ring...it might get tossed.
The ring meaning “love”...just might get lost.

Don’t buy a child that special toy.
The risk of returns is not worth the joy.

Don’t take the trip...or long journey.
Stay at home...and sigh with me.

In fact,
Don’t buy any extravagant gifts...at any store.
It is not worth the returns...unwants and more...

I Disagree You see...

I know it’s a puppy...it has feelings I see.
That diamond ring for you...is special from me.

The special toy...I’ll take the chance.
The joy will be worth a moment to glance.

A trip or vacation or journey with you
Will last in our hearts...all the days through.

Do what you feel this Christmas time.
If it comes from the heart...all will be fine.

One choice for you...may not be for me.
Accept my decision under the tree.

If I gift a puppy...at Christmas time
In this great Nation...the decision is MINE.
