Extreme Whippet

Extreme Whippet

By Darren M. Grine

Many times I’m compared to a professional athlete

Enter me in a racing event and I’ll show you an awesome feat

Hold on tightly because my performance will put you back in your seat

My life revolves around my favorite word speed

If I’m given anything fast to chase I will exercise my need

Meanwhile if you dare to challenge me you better take heed

I enjoy living and pushing everything to the edge

When I’m running in motion I look like a pointed wedge

I’m a fearless whippet and living in the fast lane is my pledge

At any given time I’m in a state of energize

From a deep sleep to a fast pace I quickly metabolize

If you witness this action you won’t believe your eyes

I can go full throttle twenty four-seven

Burning the candle at both ends puts me in seventh heaven

While a zeal for life and special privileges granted keep me driven

When you’re not looking I will take from your plate

If you find your entrée missing it means that this meal was great

I regard this as abandoned because you’re not watching and I can’t wait

Most likely I will lounge in your favorite chair

If you ask me to move I’ll just lay there and give you a glare

I won’t flinch or budge even if you give me that determined stare

While you might think I get everything just in spite

You have to realize that I’m sophisticated and it feels so right

Being waited upon is what’s expected from all day until the night

Sometimes I go to shows and trips by car or jet

My lavish lifestyle is one that no one’s going to forget

I’ve been called presumptuous, but prefer extreme whippet better yet
