Each week, the Standard reaches out to Austin’s Typewriter Rodeo for a custom poem on Texas topics.
Michael Minasi / KUT
Should I get a dog?
Shiny eyes and floppy silk ears
Vet bills, meat breath, going out to pee
Nuzzle nose, couch cuddles, long walks in summer
Hot paws, piercing barks, whining all night, thunder
Welcome home wags, cool tricks, always loves your first
Annoyed cat, potty training, anxious leash tugs, water-spilling thirst
Shiny eyes say
I’m already yours.
Typewriter Rodeo airs each Friday on Texas Standard. Send us your ideas for a poem on Facebook, Twitter, or send us an email.
