Notes About The Poem

 

I even found a game about doggy poop!

I'Ve Got the Doggy Doo Blues - For Contest

Woke up this morning all forlorn
Piles of dog poop lie on my lawn

I’d love to find the offending mutt
Give his owner a cork for its butt!

Dog poop is a disgusting mess
It gets everywhere I must confess

Come on dog owners make me happy
Put your pooch in a doggy nappy

Notices say 'clean up dog poop' - 
All you need is a poop-a-scoop

Or simply carry a plastic bag …
If I see YOUR dog poohing – I will nag

Just clear up the offensive doggy doo - 
It’s not a difficult thing to do!

Contest – Everyone Poops – Roy Jerden

It abhors me to see owners allowing their dogs to dirty anywhere without cleaning it up, more so in Public Parks where even their children are playing. Quite incredible to be honest~James xxx

Thank you for bringing awareness about this doggy business! I can't stand people walking their dogs, pretending to have a plastic bag tied to the leash ready for use, but it never gets used, even though their dogs are guilty of messing the pavement!! Hugs ~ paul

Reminds me of TWO neighbors. ONE neighbor walked his dog mornings to which he 'decked' the OTHER neighbors lawn! Weary from cleaning up the 'aftermath' the OTHER neighbor picked it up in a plastic bag walked across the street and FLUNG it into the ONE neighbors FRONT DOOR.....A Sight to Behold did Unfold!

July 27, 2015 at 9:45 AM
LOL Judy - I walked up our road today to see a pooh bag deposited on one of the neighbour's garden walls - quite disgusting:-( hugs Jan xx

They should make electronic sensors that go off singing this song when a dog enters your lawn to make a deposit. Hahaha

Hi Jan, Great poem, I love the first two couplets. There seems to be a bit of a pooh fascination going on these days in some people's poems I notice. Good luck in the competition my friend Love Shane xxx
