Jerry the fox terrier

ever since his fur fell out
Jerry the Fox Terrier
knew something
was not quite right
.
daytimes and walkies
passed without incident
but somnambulism
had overtaken Jerry
.
forepaws outstretched
eyes firmly closed
up on hind quarters
Jerry moonlighted
.
each night his skills
seriously advanced
and poetic thoughts
filled nightime delights
.
his paw skills with pen
and keyboard dexterity
spurred contributions
to pawetry on Cosmofunnel
.
regularly published
he felt quite at home
for every dog knows
all poets are barking
.
.

(for non Brits, saying someone is 'barking' is a slang Brit way of saying they are barking mad or insane
 and somnambulism is sleep walking)
