A woman sat down on a bench; Her dog sat at her feet, A rather giant canine, But to make his look complete… Around his neck his collar said, “F**k off” in neon green. It was a collar unlike any I had ever seen. The dog, though huge, looked gentle So the warning didn’t seem Like it came from him, but rather From the human on his team. The message, though, was blaring; Even canines stayed away. There’s nothing like a “F**k off” sign To keep the world at bay.

I read, but it's hard to comment on some poems. Sad.

Very funny. But I feel sorry for the poor fellow. He never gets any pets or tummy rubs.
