Hoot's Toot

There once was a little Jack Russell
who was as sweet as she was cute
and went by the nicname of hoot.

Now in the evening the
family would gather 
to spend family time together.
Everyone including Hoot was there.

Me on the couch
the kids on the floor
and dad in his favorite chair.

As we sat there a smell most foul
quickly filled the air.

It seems our sweet little hoot
had let loose with a toot
and now we are all fighting for air.

My bad I didn't check the requirements for a limerick before I listed this as one. It sounded like one so I just assumed that it was. I will change it's listing. Thanks for letting me know. May you have fair weather and sunny days. TLee
