Going to a dog show
getting up at dawn
driving down the motorway
through the misty morn
sitting round the ringside
laughing with your mates
munching bacon sarnies
setting up the crates
grooming spray and brushes
rush of adrenaline
clipping on your number
running round the ring
standing in the line up
beaten ( once again!)
queueing for the toilets
in the pouring rain
cruising round the trade stands
buying yet more leads
checking out the judging
of the different breeds
packing up the show bags
trying to find the car
driving down the motorway
why is it so far ?
greeting all the 'stay at homes'
giving them a run
feeding everybody
day is nearly done
feeling just exhausted
I must be insane
going to a dog show
tomorow - once again !
