I saw a 'Peanuts' cartoon
that showed the dog Snoopy
lying on top of his doghouse,
a behaviour that seemed loopy.

But what he said, as he lay
on that rooftop, was strange.
He pondered and told himself:
“What I need is a change.”

Then turned and lay supine
in the opposite direction;
thus he viewed the world
with a different perception.

Neat little take on such canine mataphorical philosophy for the IP! Rhiannon

Snoopy's soliloquies are always cogent, Rhiannon. Thanks for reading and commenting.

I like your Snoopy poem Luigi. Just that one simple change of scene can be so significant.

Thanks, Jenny. I like all the characters of the Charlie Brown's tribe but Snoopy is my favourite.

Charles Schultz and his Peanuts gang are my mainstay of joy and Snoopy my unequivocal favorite character. Whenever I need to lose myself in Happiness, (i.e 'Happiness is a warm puppy') I read one of the many Peanuts books I still have on my book shelf. So it goes without saying, but I will say it…I loved your poem on Snoopy.smiley

We seem to be of one mind regarding the Peanuts gang, JoAnne. They are a mirror image of ourselves; I find that I can see myself in every character but none more so than in Snoopy. He embodies everybody's dreams and fantasies, whether hoping to become a celebrated author, by furiously hitting the keys of his typewriter and throwing away pages of his manuscript that he finds unsatisfactory, or an audacious flying ace wearing an aviator's hat, a carf and goggles chasing the Red Baron.

On this nostalgic note, I send you my best wishes.
