100 Dogs

(This is a fictional poem) When I was seven, I had 100 dogs and that was too many. My dad would cuss while my mama spanked my fanny. They took dumps on the furniture and all over the floor. When I came home one day, I didn't have them anymore. I was shocked to learn that all of my dogs had been sold. That was nearly thirty years ago, now my parents are old. My furry companions were gone and I was sad because I was alone. I got even yesterday when I put my parents in a nursing home.
