Carolyn Devonshire Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Note:  Greyhound is a U.S. bus line.

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 December 16, 2018 at 8:12 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! Rico Carolyn Devonshire December 16, 2018 at 10:10 PM 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!
