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.
