Notes About The Poem

Dog Lips and Teeth

Dog Lips And Teeth.
.
The ever creative mother of invention
Maybe getting dim
But had the best intention's
But some things defy words
And are beyond comprehension and belief
Why on earth would anyone
But their poor dog 
Such a pair of lips and teeth
.
How did they get them into production?
How much did they have to pay?
Did they take leave of their senses
Who would but them anyway?
.
They used to say ‘’A dog is man’s best friend’’
But I wonder what dogs would say
‘’With those gimmicky lips and teeth
I’d rather be a stray
They don’t own me but I own them anyway!’’
.
‘’ Us dogs will never live this down
We will be the laughing stock
Of all the hounds around’’
.
‘And if they point 
One of those funny little boxes at me
And say, ‘'cheese’’
I’ll cock my leg up against theirs 
‘’And have a wee’’
. 
Paws for thought………
.

It's true, there are so many wacky inventions, I was surprised. Like a saddle, Mum or Dad would put on their back, so the child could ride them like on a horse. Hope you are OK thank you.Pete.p.S you don't want to, buy one do you?' I have this friend. haha. Stay safe Pete.

Jennifer Proxenos December 28, 2020 at 10:06 AM This is a clever poem, and I agree with you, who would put a dog through this and for what, they must have taken leave of their senses because for me it is not funny - I enjoyed your last stanza, good for the doggies that would do this! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
