Ode To The Belly Rub Pug
by Laurren Darr
I have a pug named Bella
She’s quite the character too
When it comes to her life, there’s one thing she always wants me to do
She constantly wants belly rubs
No matter when or where
Just give her a glance and her belly’s right there
Belly rubs in the morning
Belly rubs at night
Belly rubs even when I’m trying to write
She came from a pug rescue
So timid and shy
Then, one day, on her back, she’d roll over and lie
Belly rubs here
Belly rubs there
Belly rubs even when I’m combing her hair
Fitting in with the family
That was the goal
Now, she’s part of us and we love her soul
Belly rubs in any place or pose
Belly rubs including a scratch of the back
Belly rubs even when we’re at the race track
If I had a dime for every belly rub bestowed,
I’d be a wealthy person in a week or two
But that would never be worth the time, Bella, we’ve spent with you
I wrote this poem as I was writing my latest pug children’s book that was about Bella. If people enjoy reading about Bella and her belly rubs, the story can be found in my vibrantly illustrated children’s book, Little Baby Bella The Belly Rub Pug, available on Amazon.
