Shaggy Dog Limericks Iii

The Doberman Pinscher A Doberman’s known to be picky With friends so to greet one is tricky To kiss is a bummer Undoubtedly dumber Is to sneak up and give one a hickey The English Setter The reason we call them a setter Is they follow their genes to the letter When spotting their prey They will sit down and lay Till it’s time to get up and go get ‘er The German Shepherd For a breed with a dubious rep How ironic when choosing to prep A dog steady and wise To be some human’s eyes At the top of the list is the Shep The German Shorthaired Pointer Pointing…it sounds like a breeze Just stick out your tail and freeze The hard work is done Now wait for the gun Taking care not to wiggle or sneeze The Golden Retriever I Consider the Golden Retriever Part camel, part Wookie, part beaver You can leave her alone In your home with a bone If you first take the time to relieve ‘er The Golden Retriever II Its coat is luxurious gold Like the crown on a monarch of old Thick but not kinky Though occasionally stinky What a glorious sight to behold! The Greyhound Though Greyhounds are known for their speed There’s a dignified side to the breed For when given a choice Between rabbits and Joyce They are likely to choose a good read The Irish Setter He’s Irish not Scottish or British You forget, he’ll get ornery and skittish He’ll point to his pelt Start swearing in Celt With a splash of some Gaelic and Yiddish The Jack Russell Terrier A packet of fizz the Jack Russell Full of dashing and daring and bustle With engine on race And the world left to chase Any wonder he makes such a fussle? The Keeshond I once knew a hound that was Dutch Can’t say that I cared for him much He lived on a barge That was smelly and large And grinned at the hint of a touch The Kerry Blue Terrier You ask, why include a new terrier Not a hound or a pinscher or harrier? Include them indeed Not a different breed ‘cause they’re fun as a bun and lots hairier
