Whippet Style
By Darren M. Grine

One of his pastimes is to lounge all day
On his master’s bed is where he loves to lay
Start a game of chase, this whippet comes to play

He’s the one that’s somewhat mild
Far from the ones that are usually wild
His demeanor is that of a prince or royal child

With a rich origin dating back then
From Pharaoh to Cleopatra way back when
Surely roaming at will in a servant palace pen

Having an esteem of a newly crowned king
Food and drink is what’s expected for all to bring
Living like a monarch becomes his personal thing

He likes to be admired from afar
Posing as if he was a famous movie star
Given a chance, he’d be driving a fancy luxury car

Many times he prefers his own space
At a wink of an eye, he acts like he’s off to a race
Whether slow or fast, this whippet sets his own pace

Whatever he does, always goes
He’s a worthy whippet and it shows
Living life to the fullest is all he knows

With an ego that’s wide as a mile
His charming appeal will make you smile
Ideally, this is part of living a whippet style
