Al Capone
#WritcoPoemPrompt115
Threw out old boxes,
Regrets, photographs,
empty pockets and lockets.

The air fryer,

Microwave, rings and jewelry, cast aside Memories, memos, pride and pettiness.

Donated waterbed to Salvation Army. Sold my Ford F 150 and motorcycle, could kick my own ass for firing my girlfriend.

Who woos, courts, and then fires their new
girlfriend?

Fired?

I've got to blame that
on Trump, his Tv show,

'The Apprentice.'

Well?

I eventually got married to her...

Where was I?

Oh yeah, I threw out pain, dispair, hate, doubt, toss my dog away, and the dog house...

Wait!

My dog!

Here Al Capone,
come here boy, I'm sorry, I got carried away!

Though you just cost me some dough when the mailman sue me, after you launch into the air and tore a large hole in his trousers.

I asked Al Capone what he’d actually do
if he caught the mailman and he admitted he hadn’t thought that part through yet?

He also said the mailman had been
eyeballing my wife!

I slapped him a hi-five!

He barked and said, had I heard the joke about what do you get if you cross a gold dog with a telephone?

I replied, what?

A golden receiver!

He howled, What did one flea say to the other?

Should we walk or just catch a dog!

I chuckled, Heh, heh, heh...

Al Capone yelps saying, I've got one more joke...

A Bulldog, Doberman, and Chihuahua walk into a bar looking for a cool drink. A beautiful female Collie struts by and stops at their table, saying: "Whoever can say liver and cheese in a charming, romantic way can have me."

So the Doberman says, "I love liver and cheese!" The Collie replies: "That's not good enough for me."

The Bulldog growls, "I hate liver and cheese!" The Collie says: "That's not romantic enough for me."

Finally the Chihuahua yaps, "Liver alone... cheese mine, let's go darling!

And away they went, wagging their tails...

We laughed and shared a rib end and some french fries.

So,

Yes, I may throw things out, left and right, but my furry friend, no doubt, will stick with me day and night.

So forget regrets, flashy trucks and gold, cause with Al Capone, you bet, I've got a friend that can't be sold.

No more tossing things aside, for a dog's love
is a treasure, with Al Capone by my side,
there's laughs and fun beyond measure.

So the next time I clean house, no need to fret or moan, Al Capone my four-legged friend,

🐕

We'll share steaks, beer, hot dogs and milk bones!
