The Dogggone Dog Contest

He wears a bandana and smells worse than an unkept dog with a horrible breath; I heard rumors that he sleeps in a garage, where dogs are infested with fleas. He drives a station wagon emitting strong fumes, does he ever change his engine oil or let it burn 'until the engine stops running? He shows no blush of shame, but curses more than a truck driver while he sits still and counts his woes. The hungry dogs bark and peak out of the car windows, seeing angry faces and hands waving at close distance... the defiant driver refuses to come out of the broken-down car, and with raggae music blasting, he gives them the finger. Only a bigot could act in such a disrespectful way as fury increases and every driver blows the horn constantly, but too much air noise gets pedestrians tense, and one of them calls police on his cell phone...they come and arrest him. And he still smells in that cell cramped with criminals and offenders, he even had the guts to ask one of the officers to bring in his dogs! Oh, filthy, unhygienic guy they should hand you soap and towel, instead of keeping you in there and make everybody yell!

Quite a statement on the low-lifes that roam through society with little thought to how their actions (and their hygience) offends people, Andrew. You took this contest to a higher level and I think Andrea will admire the observations made astutely in this poem! Wishing you success. Love, Carolyn
