driving miss rosie dog . . . a great little co-pilot . . .

" driving miss rosie dog "

- 1995-2012

miss rosie dog

was the sweetest 

little dog  

 in the world. . . 

for many years, i drove her around

in an ol' jalopy on

beautiful roads 

up and down the french country side . . .

from the get go

rosie asked for the car's window

on her side stay open 

" always open to the wind . . ."

she said . . .

n, i replied : " OK "   . . .

which made her a happy dog . . .

winters ,

i'd wear an alaskan down-jacket,  

wool-mittens and let the car's heating 

system blow on high

     'til spring came back. . .

 . . .

we were toasty

warm

n, miss rosie dog

could keep her head

out of the window

if she felt like it !

sometimes ,

rarely just sitting 

pretty 

window closed

no head in the wind

suited her fine . . .

she'd looked at me

in the corner of her eyes n' say " i'm drawing things

in my head . . . "

i'd say :  " ok. fine. . .

i do the driving

you draw . . . " 

. . .

Matisse declared that 

driving slow

was the only way 

to admire trees 

and

    their leaves . . .

miss rosie dog

loved driving slowly 

 may be 

, like Matisse she 

enjoyed seeing out 

a leaf

flying from

a tree

or

a hawk

diving

from 

high up 

often 

' it was a farm

dog

let loose

running

back n' front

of the car

, barking 

at us

trying

to bite a big piece

    off the tires . . .

i knew miss rosie dog

was scared out 

of her wits 

 but she never let on . . .

her responsibility

as a great , competent ,

friendly 

co-pilot

mattered very much

to her . . .

good 

doggies

     are always this way . . .

loving 

n' true

      to the last drop . . .

i know 

rosie

  loved driving with me

n'

i loved

       riding with her . . .
