It's a Dog's Life

Scooby had a thing for homemade ice cream
Choc'late, Strawberry, Orange Sherbet Dream
   He'd down tub after tub
   Like a hungry bear cub
For dessert he'd feast on freshly whipped cream







Note:  'Scooby-Doo' was the hero of a TV series
          that debuted in 1969. He was a Great Dane,
          who shared many personality traits with the
          show's amateur detective, Shaggy Rogers.

Gershon you took me back down memory lane for this one. I remembered Scooby-doo love when they were in a haunted house. I did not know he ate so much icecream lol

He's morphed in his old age now, Michael -- literally, into Scoopy-Doo the Blubber Dog. lol. Cheers, and thanks for the support. Best wishes, Gershon

As Evelyn advised me below, for this limerick, I should have renamed him, 'Scoopy-Doo!' Blessings, Gershon

You had to watch Scooby-Doo a few times... Better every time, I imagine...Not!... When my oldest son was 9, I had to take him to see Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures three times. Worse than Chinese Water Torture. lol. Thanks, Kim!
