Easy To Teach

We once had a miniature poodle Quincy Adams his registered name We were quite proud of our small pet As part of the family he became While walking Quincy one spring day We met a man who worked with us Obviously taken with Quincy He couldn't raise enough of a fuss He said he'd love to have a dog But when teaching them was the goal They would hike their leg every time He couldn't teach them proper control I told him, "Poodles are really smart," "Teaching them is not hard to do!" He said, "Maybe, but I have to wonder," "Because he is peeing on your shoe!"
