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 Image “B” Chosen *Written December 16, 2018 For James Edward Lee Sr.’s “Baby Face, What’s You Thinkin’” Contest

Limericks come so natural to you, Carolyn. He's quite a tough one this baby...but at least I can't hear any four-letter words being uttered!! Have a lovely day...hugs // paul

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! Rico

He does sort of look like he's taunting and I agree, that face won't disrupt my morning tea. Thanks for your visit, Rico!
