I’m Not a Beagle
I’m Not a Beagle
Hey, it’s me, Sonny, your loyal hound,
Once lost and lonely, now joyfully found.
From the tough streets where I used to roam,
To a warm, cozy place I now call home.I need to clear the air, just once and for all,
Sometimes a beagle is what I’m called.
They see my floppy ears and wagging way,
“Is that a beagle?” they always say.But beagles shuffle with bellies that swing,
Sniffing around every boring old thing.
I’m tall and sleek, built for the chase—
Lean muscle, all grit, setting the pace!For miles a day, I will trot by your side,
With speed and focus—no belly to hide!
My owner’s the one with the belly, you see—
He’s got the snacks but leaves the running to me!And let’s not forget my most prized skill,
A nose that’s unmatched, tracking with thrill!
With a sniffer so sharp, I can find any treat,
Even the ones you thought you could eat!So next time you see me, don’t be misled—
I’m no beagle, get that out of your head!
I’m Sonny, the Walker, loyal and true,
Your forever friend who always loves you!David Ritter 9/12/24
ABOUT THE BOOKS
MEMORIES FOR KEEPS
A collection of poetry that reveals one man’s feelings about the world around him: with spirituality the centerpiece of most of his writings, the author touches the hearts and minds of readers with hope, peace, love, humility, wisdom, and wit.

Today, through this collection of both old and new works, he shares that serenity with you!
BOTTLED MEMORIES
These stand-alone poems were written over many years. While individually they describe the conflicts associated with alcoholism, when read together they reveal a more complete picture of the destruction, depression, and chaos of addiction, as well as the peace, hope, and joy of recovery. Although most of these poems pertain to my life, it is my hope that other people will relate to them also. It’s not only my story but the story of so many others.
