Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

Don'T Let the Dog Get Out

There is one thing certain without a doubt.
You must never let the dog get out.
You should be aware of his propensity to fight.
If he gets outside, things will not be right.

The dog displays a large amount of courage.
However, it is his scrapping you must discourage.
Remember when the neighbors complained before.
You must not let the dog get out the door.

Make sure he is secured with a leash first.
If he runs out free, be prepared for the worst.
He has a bite as strong as the grip of a vise.
Letting him out would not be considered wise.

Around people, there is no dog better.
However, with other dogs, he is a blood letter.
Be careful, or town officials will take him away.
Never let him out on his own any day.

Jack Horne February 19, 2012 at 3:56 PM LOL, reminds me of our first dog, Paddy. Love this witty piece, my friend

Marycile Beer February 19, 2012 at 3:03 PM Robert, you must have a frisky one like my granddaughter's neighbor has. Can't keep his mouth shut and very dangerous if he gets out. Bit my granddaugher and also the mailman. He's still there and we all shiver when he starts when we are outside. Keep up the good work. Thanks for your kind words on my poem about the Rainbow. God Bless, Cile

Rhonda Johnson-Saunders February 18, 2012 at 9:50 PM Robert, a great write! I never owned a mean dog but when I was a child, we had a doberman that would get out of the house and run the neighborhood. We would chase her until she wore out. Your poem reminded me of her. She wasn't mean but she scared people when she was loose.

Linda-Marie Sweetheart February 18, 2012 at 8:38 AM a great insight on doggie power Robert.. they have a mind all their own.. are fun companions and loyal pets.. but that instinct to be aggressive is sometimes scary.. enjoyed luv..

Jancarl Campi February 18, 2012 at 12:06 AM Great poem. some dogs are a bit dangerous when out alone and some are loving and shy. Anyway, there is a leash law for us all. I have seen too many dogs run over by cars and that is so sad. a great poem and thanks for reading my past work.
