Maya 's Martini Poem by Suzae Chevalier

Martini the little Shih Tzu was cute as can be,

wagging his tail so carefree,

by the ocean with good friend Suzy.

Now he was very aware,

for when he got scared,

he hid under Maya's desk and there he would rest,

his head on Maya's small feet,

then he would look up for a treat.

"Now why did you name him Martini? "

I asked Maya quizzically one day,

then Maya turned her head to say,

"Well, this is the story Sue Chevalier,

"Martini was named after the club

where people like to dance,

I met my husband Ron there by circumstance."

Now all 3 of them live together by the sea,

these are my sweet memories of the Shih Tzu dog named Martini.
