Pound-Bound Hellhound

Doggone it, that blasted pup irks me
He thinks he’s my Mom’s fav’rite pee wee
     He grabs harmful toys
     From rascally boys
Then chews them while gloating, bad beastie!

I’m coming for you, Mr. Hellhound
I’ll see you returned to the pet pound
     The blues you will sing
     So just take a swing
One scratch on my head, you’ll go Greyhound

Rico Leffanta Date: 12/16/2018 8:12:00 PM After watching AFV, it amazes me that ANYONE would allow an animal in their home, never mind around their baby! Good luck in the contest, and I'm happy I don't have to look at that baby face across the breakfast table! Aloha!
