I almost stepped in some doggy pooh Would've covered the sole of my shoe Why can't folk use a scoop to pick up THEIR dog's poop Like sensible dog owners will do It's a good job hubby had his torch - grr dog pooh its my pet hate! 3/15/19

G'day Jan … affectionately known as 'lawn mines' down here. Walk some inside the house and that's when the explosion occurs - thanks Jan - Lindsay

Great limerick and perfect photo, Jan. I also have a couple of neighbors that don't clean up their dog pooh. It's like walking thru a mine field Warmest Wishes~ Warren

LOVE the title, great limerick. You made me think: I find gum harder to get off my shoes than pooh, it may not stink, but it's a frustrating cling-on! So, please - a limerick to stop that also!!! I leave that for you the 'chew'. Poetry hugs (always a good time with you I have) ... CayCay

When I saw the title, I thought you were still house-cleaning ….. In Burbank, California, the city has doggy bag dispensers at regular intervals along sidewalks, but people still don't clean up after their dogs. This world has enough fleas, ticks, and other parasites without pet owners spreading them around! Aloha! Rico

- I see my dogs have a lot to learn :))) ... I pick poop every day :))) ... - The spring sign: when the snow melts ... all the dog's poop reveals :) - Have a lovely weekend, Jan :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

We've all stepped in it at some point, Jan, and I wholeheartedly agree with your message to dog owners. Your funny limerick is even funnier when one looks at the photo! Hugs, carolyn

Jan , there is nothing worse,I've had two dogs and we always carried little black bags. But there are some very inconsiderate owners who couldn't care less. Good job you had a torch. Tom.
