Poop On a Shoe
My boys got dog poop on their sneakers
On their way home after school.
Their friends were beside themselves with laughter
And the boys were feeling quite the fools.
But they were determined to get their sneakers clean...
It was just a matter of finding the right tool.
They tried a scrub brush soaked in Pine Sole
But the smell was even worse when they were through.
So they threw the sneakers in the washer
Where they hoped to bid the poop adieu.
But to their frustration and their shame...
The poop was tightly affixed to every shoe.
But they are nothing if not resourceful and
Found what they needed to insure the poop's defeat.
Now the lines of communication are always open
With a heads up to save me from any untold grief.
As I wish they had mentioned their choice of tool
Before I brushed my teeth.
The End
