If Dr. Seuss wrote A Chihuahua Story
By Brad Rand
Minnie: Eight chihuahuas, I'm the star,
Yes, eight I said -- or eight, so far.
Lucy: Another one could always come.
Kimmie: That thought makes me very glum,
For I would have to share my toy,
That does not bring me joy! No joy!
Nella: A new chihuahua? Good idea!
We could name her, maybe, Mia . . .
Mia: Mia? That's MY name, you dunce!
Nella: Oh, yes, I think I heard that once.
Jessel: This new chihuahua, could she be
Black and white, a cow, like me?
Bonnie: There are no other cows like you,
Let's hear it, Jess, let's hear you Moo.
Jessel: Oh, now you're teasing, Bah, I say.
Mia: Move off that bed! I want to lay.
Lucy: Oh, you do not! You want to breed it!
Brad says no, but you don't heed it.
Nella: Really, Mia, that looks silly.
Beds keep you warm when it gets chilly.
Jazlyn: I want no new ones, eight's enough.
A new one could be mean, or rough.
Bonnie: Jazlyn, you are such a sissy.
I will handle this new missy.
If she's rough, I'll growl a ton.
Minnie: Ha! You growl at everyone.
You sound so fierce -- but then you run.
Lucy: Now, girls, we're not allowed to fight.
Not in the morning, nor at night.
Jazlyn: Remember, if Brad says we can't,
We can't, we mustn't, and we shan't.
Kimmie: My toy is gone! How could this be?
Who took my toy?
Lucy: Not me.
Jazlyn: Not me.
Nella: I took it, Kim, between my teeth.
Kimmie: Nella, you are such a thief.
You give that back, you spit it out.
Don't make me mad, I'll bite your snout.
Lucy: There goes Kim, with her big act.
One thing you lack, my dear, is tact.
Minnie: Another thing she lacks is height,
She can't reach high enough to bite.
Kimmie: But I can give her quite a smack,
My mouth is set, my ears are back.
I'm looking very tough today.
Jessel: Oh, poo, you always look that way.
Kimmie: My tail is pointing at my head.
Nella, are you filled with dread?
Jazlyn: Nella's rolling on the ground,
She's laughing at your chipmunk frown.
Kimmie: She dropped my toy! I have it! Yay!
I told you I would win this fray.
Minnie: There was no fray, you little 'munk,
But you sure do have lots of spunk.
Mia: You do, you do, you do, indeed.
I like that, hey, you want to breed?
Jazlyn: Really, Mia, what a mind!
Kimmie's not in heat, you'll find.
Mia: I'm not either, but it's fun.
Jessel: Hey! Let's play! Let's run and run!
Nella: First one on the A-frame wins!
Jazlyn: Ouch! Who kicked me in the shins?
Bonnie: Oops, I'm sorry, that was me.
Jazlyn: Goodness, how rude can you be!
Kimmie: I am going to win this game!
Then everyone will know my name!
From the tippaty-top I'll shout my joy!
Hey, wait a minute!
Who took my toy?
