Sense Sonnet - Tickler

First Choice

It was Sheryl and Rosie and me,
All on board our Boundless yacht.
The boat hit a reef while at sea.
My wife. Sheryl's jacket got caught.
I could see land not far away.
So Rose, my terrier, I
Swam her to shore. She was okay.
I viewed the sinking yacht nearby.
Sheryl, still on board, was sinking too,
Screaming for me to save her life.
I pondered moments what to do,
Then swam back and got my wife.

Picked my best friend o'er my dear spouse.
Doggone worth it - in the dog house.
