My Alpha (a bit of...silly, slashy intent B/A B7 *cough* doggerel)

[feng_shui_house]

Too sleepy for productive work, but brain was willing to do a bit of old paper sorting. I stopped when I came across a printout of this 'adapted' poem that I'd done ....no idea when. I have no idea who I showed it to, whenever I first did it, but I don't *think* I'd ever posted it to LJ, so here it is.



My Alpha
as told to me by Roj Blake (after Star One)
with sincerest apologies to John Kendrick Bangs, author of 'My Dog'


I have no Alpha, but it must be
Somewhere there's one belongs to me--
A little chap with wagging tail,
And dark brown eyes that never quail,
But look you through, and through, and through,
With love unspeakable and true.

Somewhere it must be, I opine,
There is a little Alpha of mine
With cold sharp mind that sniffs around
In search of what gems may be found
In pocket or some nook hard by
Where I have hidden them from his eye.

Somewhere my Alpha pulls and tugs
The fringes of rebellious thugs,
Or with the mischief of the pup
Chews all my plans and missions up,
And when he's done it to the core,
With eyes all eager, pleads for more.

Somewhere upon his slender legs
My little Alpha sits and begs,
And in a wistful voice well-bred
Pleads for the pleasures of the bed--
I pray it be his owner's whim
To yield and grant the same to him.

Somewhere a little Alpha doth wait;
It may be by some starry gate.
With eyes alert and tail attent--
You know the kind of tail that's meant--
With stores of yelps of glad delight
To bid me welcome home at night.

Somewhere a little Alpha is seen,
His nose two silver sleeves between,
Flat on his stomach, one eye shut
Held fast in dreamy slumber, but
The other open, ready for
His master coming through the door.

I LOVE THEM I WISH BLAKES 7 WASN'T TOO SAD TO THINK ABOUT OH, I WISH BLAKE WAS SLIGHTLY SOFTER AND AVON WAS SLIGHTLY LESS MAD.

MMMMMMMM, COLLARS.

oooo... now I want to think about Blake collaring Avon, and that's why he always covers up his neck, except when he doesn't which was probably when he was bad and Blake took back the collar and Avon had to beg to get it back...mmmmm....

Ooh you are so bad! My dog's collar only comes off when he is in the bath. Now there's a thought...

*eyes cross... drools*

Awww, how gorgeous. And you know, you could put the word "gentleman" in place of 'Alpha", and it would work beautifully for a different fandom too. :)

*giggle*

Chews all my plots and voyages up? ;^)

[nautile26.livejournal.com]

Indeed! :)

[muscadinegirl.livejournal.com]

Awwww! Sweet!

[muscadinegirl.livejournal.com]

That was meant to be my Blake and Avon icon, but bowing to Elizabeth works too. :)

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

*giggle* Yes, it does. :^)

[ultrapsychobrat.livejournal.com]

Love it! Wonderful use of that song! :)

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Aww, that's sweet... until you remember GP and then it gets bittersweet...

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

See what happens when you abandon a pet dog? :^)

[alinewrites.livejournal.com]

Aw! So deliciously sweet! And please write some Avon-collaring if you are so inclined!! I miss that.

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

I shall have to think about it! The plot bunnies are after me today!

[vjezkova.livejournal.com]

How lovely! (and yes, I have found and read the original poem).

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

I like poems you don't have to analyze. :^) I'm lazy.
