Cute as a Button by James Aitchison

I am a white chihuahua,
I’m very, very new,
I’ll make you laugh — ha ha ha,
at all the things I do.

Sniffing empty shoes,
trying to bite a chair, 
barking at the front door
when nobody is there.

My ears are quite unique,
as you can plainly see,
my eyes are both enormous,
as soulful as can be.

I’m always very hungry, 
for food I’ll always scrounge,
but when I’m very good,
I can get up on the lounge!

Button, born 20 October 2025.
