Meet a Dog Nsmed Earl Lee

MEET EARL LEE  (A dog who was named  appropriately)

Great to meet you my name is Earl Lee 
If you say my name real fast it comes out Early
Only sometimes they call me my other name Curly
But I'm not particularly  fond of that
Because  I think it's a suitable name for a cat
Earl Lee sounds quite sedate, a dignified Show Stopping pup
With good things in store who's on his way up
But let's get back to my original plan
If I'm Early to rise I'll be sure to find treats in the cat's sandy pan!

LATER---
Don't get excited I wrote this when I was a sniveling pup
I've since become wiser you could say I've grown up
I no longer indulge in such a strange addiction
But I fooled mom and dad thinking kitty had a real bad obstruction 

They kept looking in her pan like they want her treats too
They looked all over even inside each shoe
They whispered  and said  "I hope she's not constipated"
We'll give her some oil and get this problem extirpated 
What does that mean "oil inside kitty"
Maybe her treats will become oily and slippery

Thanks so much. I'm glad you liked it. I wanted to do a numerous turn to what is sometimes an annoying habit of little guy puppies :-)))
