Man's best friend a dog might be,
he dotes with admiration,
but regardless of his pedigree,
he causes consternation.
.
Dress him up from top to tail,
shine his coat and collar.
But what's the bet, that without fail,
he'll lead you in to squaller.
.
Take him out to the finest park,
frequented there by poodles,
when off his lead, he'll beg and bark,
and steal the apple strudels.
.
Beware the dog that trains his master,
it won't be long before disaster!

A first impression has a lasting effect - it makes a notable difference. In a subtle way that’s who I am as a poet. A ‘first impression’ looking for the gentle ‘twist’ that draws attention to a novel observation.
