Ricky: The Riddle of the Chihuahua Heart
"A person's a person, no matter how small."
Dr. Seuss
And Ricky the Chihuahua was loved by all.
His journey complete, his tale is told,
Of a dog who taught hearts to unfold.

RICKY'S
STRIDE

๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฆด

(VERSE 1)
Once upon a time, in a world not so large,
Lived a Chihuahua named Ricky, with a heart full of charge.
They called him Psycho, but he wasn't so craze,
Just a little pup with a story to amaze.

I'd scurry 'round town, with my tiny paws in tow,
Looking for love in the human show.
Some folks would giggle, some would give me a cheer,
But others just looked, like I was something to fear.
๐Ÿถ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿถ

"Hey, little fella," a kid would say with a grin,
But his daddy would shoo, like I was a pesky sin.
I'd wag my tail, hoping they'd let me in,
But the door slammed shut, with a cold, final din.
๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿถ

Why do they whisper, when I'm just a dog so small?
A creature with feelings, that's all.
Do they not see the love in my eye?
The joy in my bark, the wag in my tie?
๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿถ

(CHORUS)
Oh, humans so fickle, with hearts like an unpredictable ridge,
Some warm as toast, some as cold as a fridge.
But I, Ricky, the Chihuahua so brave,
Would keep on searching for love to crave.

(VERSE 2)
In a cozy home, where the sunsets were gold,
Lived a young girl, who had hearts to behold.
Her name was Lily, with a smile so wide,
And in her eyes, I saw a place to hide.
๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿถ

"Here, Ricky, come," she'd call out so sweet,
With a voice like a bell that couldn't be beat.
Her laughter was warm, her cuddles so tight,
With her by my side, I felt so right.
๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿถ

But alas, humans grow, and so did she,
And soon she had less time for me to see.
I'd wait by the door, with hope in my soul,
But the hours grew long, and the emptiness took its toll.

(VERSE 3)
Then came Mr. Jenkins, the neighbor so mean,
With a scowl so fierce, it could make you lean.
He'd shout and he'd scream, "Get off my lawn!"
And throw things at me, like...
