Poop On a Shoe

My boys got dog poop on their sneakers On their way home after school. Their friends were beside themselves with laughter And the boys were feeling quite the fools. But they were determined to get their sneakers clean... It was just a matter of finding the right tool. They tried a scrub brush soaked in Pine Sole But the smell was even worse when they were through. So they threw the sneakers in the washer Where they hoped to bid the poop adieu. But to their frustration and their shame... The poop was tightly affixed to every shoe. But they are nothing if not resourceful and Found what they needed to insure the poop's defeat. Now the lines of communication are always open With a heads up to save me from any untold grief. As I wish they had mentioned their choice of tool Before I brushed my teeth. The End

Hilarious with a big fat capital H. One of my favorite ‘Darts’ songs was ‘Messing shoe blues’ and this brought that song right back to me. So much so, I’m gonna play it right now. Terry

Gotta put those brown bristles the category of 'yellow snow:' Don't eat the yellow snow, and don't brush with those brown bristles! lol. :) gw

Sage advice my friend. If I ever meet an Alien from another planet... 'don't eat the yellow snow' would be one of the first things I would tell them. Stay frosty.

Oh my, David! Your poem is delightfully funny. I laughed so hard! And, of course, I have used an OLD USED toothbrush for that very purpose, so I could relate. Nice writing.
