Notes About The Poem

Picture Prompt Poetry Contest

Shake A Leg

Before Duke shakes a leg, he sniffs around
Some doggies chase squirrels like Harry the hound
Sparky crying mutt
Says he’ll bust his gut
Begs for more pee-trees in the park playground

Funny...you are making me laugh. I'm wondering how they got this picture in the first place. Tranquilizers?

Thanks for making me smile! dear Anaya, you are quite talented at limericks as well. It's a good idea to have more trees. A tree might be an alternative to standing in line for peeing.

Good one Anaya, more pee-trees are a great idea, a tree in time saves peeing in line… Beryl
