Holes In Doors 




Holes In Doors 


My owner left me 
Locked up in the courtyard 
Nothing unusual about that 
He left me some biscuit treats 
And a full bowl of water 

However, he forgot  
To close the wire security screen 
Well, best I break in 
And protect our kennel 
“What would you have done?” 

I started clawing and chewing 
At the exposed wood door 
Firstly, I dug a small hole 
An opening I could bite 
My industrious teeth into 
Whoops and drats! 
There was another layer 
On the inside too! 

I wasn’t sure why 
My boss told me off 
When he arrived home 
I thought I was only trying to help 
He didn’t appreciate my creativity 

Time passed and Christmas arrived 
My extended family 
Were joking and laughing 
At my aunt’s gift for Dad 
Woof, woof. “A Doggie Door for me!”

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.
