Pet Peeves
A dog took a dump near the bench where I’m sitting.
The owner stood by ‘til his dog was done ting,
Then lazily did a poor job with his scooping,
Thus leaving the smelly remains of the pooping.
A breeze came along and the odor came drifting.
I tried with my body to block it by shifting,
Without any luck, so I’m stuck here with smelling
A scent that my senses find rather repelling.
Oh, walkers of canines, please note your surroundings
And give it your best picking up your pet’s moundings.
You should be aware that the remnants you’re leaving
Are causing your neighbors a little pet peeving.
