Adeline Rose just loved to pose,

Her mum would say, “eyes this way, chin up, that’s my girl.”

Every chance she got

Whether it was inconvenient or not.

Adeline Rose would rise to the occasion

Never once flinching, posing without persuasion.

This went on for quite some time,

Until one day, Adeline Rose refused to obey.

She had had simply enough.

No cajoling, pleading or bribing would make her sway.

Adeline Rose turned her back,

This Instagram lark was merely a hack.

Her mum was devastated but what could she do?

If Adeline Rose refused her birthday party too?

Food and drink were already bought,

“It cannot just grind to nothing – to nought?”

But Adeline Rose stuck to her guns,

No party or posing – she was done.

Adeline Rose was keen to restore

Her life as a dog and nothing more!
