Are the minutes from an interview with a Psychiatrist close enough to poetry?

Interview with Dr. Dog

Dr. Dog: Mr. Ripple can you recall the name of your first master?

Mr. Ripple : yes Dr., I believe that he answered to the name of Shadow.

Dr. Dog: very interesting Mr. Ripple, if you don't mind, can we be a bit less formal, Robert, could you please tell why you used the phrase "he answered to the name of Shadow"?

Mr. Ripple: I mean Robert: Thank you Dr., yes Robert works fine for me and would you like for me to call you something other than Dr. ?

Dr. Dog: no, please refer to me as Dr. , now, continue with your answer, Robert .

Robert: I'm so sorry Dr. But I forgot your question.

Dr. Dog: I had asked you why you used the phrase "he answered

to the name of Shadow" I mean it sounds a bit derogatory, if you will.

Robert: Oh, No Sir, I would never belittle Ole Shadow, he was the best dog I ever owned! Er, I'm sorry, Ole Shadow was the best friend I ever had.

Dr. Dog: very interesting, Robert, you seem to have developed a bit of a possessive attitude somewhere in your past. Could you tell me a bit about your childhood and when you first became acquainted with Shadow?

Robert: Well Dr., as I recall, it was early summer because school had just let out for summer break. As I was walking home from school on that last day, I got this feeling that I was being followed, so I turned around and there he was, this big Ole ugly mutt of a dog, Er, sorry Dr. no offense intended! But like I was saying, there he was, this big wonderful dog was following me like my own shadow and that is what I called him from that day on, until he up and ran away.

Dr. Dog: Well Robert, that is quite interesting. Now, if you can, please tell me about your relationship with Shadow, some of your adventures if you will.

Robert: well Dr., by the way did I mention that you look just like Ole Shadow?

Dr. Dog: well I hope that I can take that as a complement, please carry own with your adventures you two had together.

Robert : Well I do recall one very exciting adventure we had. It all began one Sunday morning on the way to church. Oh, by the way, we lived in a very small town and walked just about every where. So like I was saying, it was Sunday morning and I was walking to Sunday school and Ole Shadow was living up to his name, because he was right on my heels, about two steps back. When all of a sudden ......

Dr. Dog: I hate to interrupt but before you go any further with this exciting adventure I think we need to take a quick fire hydrant break, let's take a ten minute break.

And while Dr. Dog is out front sniffing around the fire hydrant Robert waits in the office.

Ten minutes later:

This is a two part series, I will continue, only if there is interest. It gets much better!
