My Doberman puppy's in trouble He cocked his leg against our kitchen table And I’d only just taken him for walkies where he just sniffed at that manky mutt Mable I’d let my Chester off his leash so he could answer natures call but not a piddle was to be seen he preferred to be chasing a ball So now he’s whining like a naughty child In fact, he’s retreated onto my bed I think he’s ashamed of his behaviour as the sheet’s been pulled over his head! Inspired by clip 2 using a lot of poetic licence! Doberman Pinscher Poetry Contest Sponsored by Edward Ibeh 7/31/18

So very cute and entertaining as only you can deliver. A delight, Jan. I briefly considered the doberman contest, but staring at my four cats, I came up with nothing. Miss you. Hugs ... CayCay
