Guilty: A Blueberry Cobbler Caper

 

Out of the oven

the cobbler cooled

sending out sweet aromas

causing senses to drool

 

Glancing to the left

and then to the right

looking for an opportunity

the future looks bright

 

The edge of the table

oh so close

peering around the corner

no time to boast

 

Time to strike

pulling at the table cloth

the prize falls down

quietly landing like a moth

 

Oh so good

savoring every bite

guilt shown with blueberries

a remarkable site

 

Now caught with the prize

running away with delight

spreading blueberries everywhere

giving few people a fright

 

Sleeping now

after enduring the wrath

there was some laughter

and a pleasant bath

    • Thank you. A similar incident happened about 25 years ago with that dog. He managed to flip an apple pie undetected onto the floor at Thanksgiving. After enjoying the entire pie he slept for an entire day and then was sick to his stomach. He lived to be 13 years old and was an amazing dog. Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful day!
