 UPDATED TO ADD:

I never read Laura's post until after I compose my poem (so I don't get any ideas from anything other than the photo) and when I went back to read it, I learned that the puppy is not a puppy after all and his name is Captain Jack Sparrow.  As a huge fan of Cap'n Jack, I decided this dog needed a more appropriate poem.

Looking into that sweet little face, it was hard to think of that boy Jack as a pirate. But then, I remembered he is a beagle and beagles are notorious thieves. Here's my ode to Jack the Pirate-y Beagle:

Yes, I nicked it,
don't look irate;
but you knew that
I am a Pirate.

In a brown box
Two books
Are travelling your way
An envelope will arrive first...

Ha! I NEED that little bit of guidance Laura gives to get me going, lol. Hence, I KNEW Jack was a pirate.
