German Shepherd For Sale Really Cheap

German Shepherd For Sale Really Cheap

By Elton Camp

Her huge dog was Meg’s delight
Though destructive & prone to bite

In the shrubbery, he liked to dig
And he stank worse than a pig

The cur was a neighborhood blight
Because he barked loudly all night

A sack of dog food lasted only days
He was trouble in so many ways

He bit a neighbor in his own yard
To defend the lawsuit would be hard

The cops were knocking at her door
Saying they wouldn’t take it any more

Her husband finally got his fill
“Our marriage that dog does chill.”

“So choose which it’s going to be.
You can lose either him or me!”

Meg nailed a For Sale poster to a tree
Hoping some dog lover might see

“German shepherd for sale real cheap.
Once you take him, you’ve got to keep.”

Professor Mehta, I am honored that a person of your status would take note of anything I've written. Thank you! Biology, not English or writing, is my academic field so I am writing merely as a hobby in old age. It's fun to find somebody on here who is older than I am! Elton
