Tennis-ball dropped quite near feet,
then hidden behind tree he waits,
tick-tock tail-wag, smile so sweet
- who taught such charming traits?
Paw-worn path around tree base,
forays remind, needed assistance,
– ball throw triggers manic race
speed pursued, terrier persistence.
Orb ballistic, racquet propelled
down the long garden at speed,
bounce area athletically smelled,
lock-jaw clenched ball retrieved.
Hard-chased any object thrown,
helter-skelter, pursuit crazy,
target-locked, predator-prone,
hotly pursued, Jack never lazy.
Slightly stiff this pup-at-heart,
dog-centric much domestic dialogue,
sparse canine time spent apart
- happy days for rescue dog!
