Esme is the inspiration for this blog

Song for Esme

To the tune and sensibility of Girl Crush, that great song by Little Big Town

I got a girl crush, hate to admit it but
I got a heart rush, ain’t slowin’ down
I got it real bad, want everything she has
That smile and the midnight laugh she’s givin’ you now

I got a doggie

Her name is Esme

She’s canny as can be

She’s much smarter than me

***

Esme has won my heart

Esme has wrecked my house

Esme has wrecked my car

All I own wrecked by her

***

Never a dog so fair

Ever a friend to share

It would be great if she

Stopped sending poop messages to me

***

(I got a doggie, repeat)

***

Esme’s a great beauty

Herding dogs one, two, three

Blue Heeler, Aussie

And Border Collie

***

Esme will lick your face

Innocent as can be

Specially if she’s disgraced

Having some havoc wreaked

***

(musical interlude)

***

She gallops gloriously

She is a joy to see

Pelicans, egrets, geese

From her fly on the beach

***

Rarely a dog in sight

Two against morning light

My Esme scatters them

Service dogs of blind men

***

(I got a doggie)

***

Esme’s hair’s everywhere

Esme’s hair’s in the air

Esme’s hair’s on the chair

Esme’s hair’s in my hair

***

Nine nicknames currently

One without irony

Ninth for the world to see:

“& Throw Away the Key”

***

(musical interlude)

***

I got a doggie

Her name is Esme

She’s canny as can be

She’s much smarter than me
