L Milton Hankins Poet Verse

Puppies

Puppies nearly always 
pee on the plush carpet 
prior to housebreaking 
positively normal; 
perfectly natural. 
Poor little fellows can't 
persist in this practice!

Andrea Dietrich April 12, 2021 at 1:42 PM haha, this one was really fun to read. I think for the title I'd use pee or puppy!! Whatever way, it spells trouble with those puppies!! L Milton Hankins April 12, 2021 at 1:47 PM I didn't think Pee would get by the censors as a title. Puppy probably would have been a better title, but it was plural throughout the poem. Puppies? yeah, that would have been better! Thanks for the suggestion.

Kim Merryman April 12, 2021 at 1:14 PM Milton, you are right that puppies need much practice in house training! Congrats on your win in my contest! Blessings, Kim M L Milton Hankins April 12, 2021 at 1:25 PM Thank you, Kim. I look forward to another similar contest, where I hope I will do better. These are not easy, Kim.
