But you are very correct on the original form of this poem, and I do very much appreciate you letting me know this version was incorrect. :) P.S. - Oh, to explain why I did not ‘notice’ that the rhyming was off - I actually did, but as one who is a lover of poetry and art in all forms, I understand that art is subjective and that each person writes a poem in a different way, and with different cadence, and although there are rules to poetry in general, rules in art are made to be broken - therefore I reserve judgment on how I think a poem should sound or go, because since I am not the writer, I don’t know what they were going to say, so how could I judge it as incomplete?

I apologize if in any way I myself, or any of my dogs, have insulted you or the honestly very talented and accomplished poet of this poem (Aileen Fisher - who does wonderful work) - it was never our intention to incorrectly post or spread bad versions of her work. I will change it today (as soon as I can, I assure you) and I will be sure to give you all the credit for bringing this misprint to my attention in such a friendly and considerate way! Thank you so much, Susan! I hope you have a fabulous weekend and thank you SO much for visiting our site and for contacting us!! Warmly and Sincerely, A Girl and Her Dogs :) Susan,

Didn't you notice the rhythm doesn't work? Please stop copying and spreading bad versions of this woman's wonderful work! IT should be: Aileen Fisher, My Puppy It’s funny my puppy knows just how I feel. When I’m happy he’s yappy and squirms like an eel. When I’m grumpy he’s slumpy and stays at my heel. It’s funny my puppy knows such a great deal. This is WRONG! Didn’t you notice the rhythm doesn’t work? Please stop copying and spreading bad versions of this woman’s wonderful work! IT should be:

Aileen Fisher, My Puppy

It’s funny
my puppy
knows just how I feel.

When I’m happy
he’s yappy
and squirms like an eel.

When I’m grumpy
he’s slumpy
and stays at my heel.

It’s funny
my puppy
knows such a great deal.
