Who knew
a silent flick
would capture our hearts so completely?
Mon Dieu!
The French sure click
The characters captivate sweetly
Dog star
Jack Russell bred
who leapt off the screen with this talent
By far
Critics all said
Our Uggie is smart, cute, and gallant

I would have clicked like five time if it would have allowed me. I so enjoyed this. Your expert touch with your words selcted and presented in such rythmic lines and innocent on the surface that rings deep as well. Inspiring.

Have yet to see it but watched the Oscars and it got quite the attention, including, of course, the best actor pic!
