A Poem for Midweek Scribbling
Dog and squirrel
New Tricks
The kid was happy happy
Happy over the new book
Given by an aunt and read
Read over night ready now
Titled One Hundred New Tricks
Next off to show eager friends
Is there a kid in the world
One that doesn't like new tricks
Called the dog on the way out
Would be the helper today
Kissed Mom in passing. She winked,
"Dogs are slow to learn new tricks"

- the topic for our Weekly Scribblings is “New Tricks”. Rommy would like us to consider the phrase “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”, and express any thoughts we might have on it in either poetry or prose form.

I could feel the excitement in receiving that new book. Happy Wednesday Jim
much love...
I used to teach my dog a lot of tricks...then I just gave up. She would search for a "squirrel" at the mere mention of the word though.
New books are a reason for joy. And new books about tricks? Well, what boy (or girl) wouldn't love that?
Everyone needs a book of tricks!
we are all different aren't we...and that is the way it is good to be.
The thing is - the child will read and try, try again to teach that dog new tricks even if it takes a long time. As adults, we can all use a book like that.
Motivation of a new book and whole day, maybe a whole summer to try, to learn and maybe succeed to create a new neighborhood show. A chance for two pals to make memories. Well done
Such a sweet poem, Jim! A new book is always a joy, but then to be able to share it with a pet and friends is even better!
LOL, we couldn't teach Kit too much other than beg, which he already knew.
Ha ha, takes me back. I was that kid. (But weren't we all?)
