Sweet aroma filled the room
as the fluid began to drip
a typical morning
before the walking trip
With a leash in his mouth
Skipper headed toward the door
surely the human will share
and spill some coffee on the floor
Oh but there is also a filter
paper is so much fun
with a nefarious look
Skipper grabbed it and began to run
Thus the game began
Skipper is on borrowed time
when the human catches him
Skipper will pay for the crime
Jumping over furniture
human calling his name
grabbing the leash on the floor
the human is insane
A safe corner
tearing up the paper
the human trips the coffee pot
room fills with a pleasant vapor
Fluid on the floor
with a delightful taste
human attaches the leash
no time to waste
Skipper smiles
it was a fun game to play
walking in the coolness
on this cloudy day

Piper's Adventures 
What a wonderful frivolous poem about a dog. Love it, and thanks for writing it to fulfill my question. This shows just how much fund animals in our writing can be.
Thank you. It was fun to write. Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful day!
My pleasure.
I love it. I haven’t met a dog with a taste for coffee (yet,) but I bet a few I know would definitely eat a coffee filter. What a fun poem. 🙂
Thank you. It’s so fun what a dog will eat and drink. Thanks for reading.
I love skipper! 😀 What a fun poem! ❤
Thank you. He was one of the most fun dogs that I ever had. Even after having been gone for over 20 years his antics still make me smile.
