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

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

Duke, Harry and Sparky have more patience and curtesy than most of my friends. I also participated in this doggy humor contest, lot's of luck! Robert
