No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

I told her I would walk her dog, She had been ill, was in a fog. So off we went on our little jog When Fido spied a pesky frog. Off at a sprint, over a log, And the two of us landed in a bog. Clothing's wet, it's all a-sog Because of this here blasted dog. Neighbours eyes are all agog As back up the street the two of us slog. So the next time she offers a cup of grog I'll not be suckered into walking the dog. for Dane Ann Smith Johnsen's "good Deeds" contest

Congratulations, Francine, on your Honorable Mention in my contest. I always judge them blind, without knowing who the authors are. So, when I come here to see who won, I get a wonderful surprise. It is so nice to see you here among the winners. Thank you for supporting my contest...and for your patience in waiting for the results. (I laughed our loud!!!) Lovingly, Dane Ann

It has been a very long time since I saw such a good example of a monorhyme poem. You did a fine chore, and I want to read some more. Your work I truly adore.
