Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

She's Barking Mad

Sue’s puppy is called Tricky Woo
She’s upset when it does a pooh
There’s pee up the wall
And poop in the hall
She always finding doggy dooh

I suggested she buys a grit tray
And takes Tricky a walk every day
He can play in the park
Do its poop, have a bark
But someone should take Tricky away!

A puppy’s not right for her flat
Perhaps she should have got a cat
Not a hulking huge hound
From the local dog pound
Now why didn’t Sue think of that!

Inspired by picture - fictional poem only

Ilene Bauer April 30, 2020 at 1:39 PM hey jan! that picture can't be real, can it? in either case, i enjoyed your amusing poem... Jan Allison April 30, 2020 at 2:50 PM I guess its probably photo shopped but it certainly amused me and inspired me to write the poem:-) hugs Jan xx

Rico Leffanta April 30, 2020 at 1:37 PM Bully for you Jan! AFV videos convinced me nothing could be worse than a dog in the house! The only animals my grandfather allowed in the house were those on the menu, so I am biased, but the majority of dog owners are rather loath to clean up after their pet or hush the insane barking! Aloha! Rico Jan Allison April 30, 2020 at 2:48 PM my real 'pet hate' is dog poop, had a close escape today hubby had to check my shoes for me - yeuk its vile stuff :-( hugs Jan xx

John Watt April 30, 2020 at 10:52 AM Jan, what a fun poem for a funny picture! Poor Sue, that dog pooh must be as big as her leg! I grew up next door to a St. Bernard and we could never play in their back yard because of guess what? More poop than grass, haha! You nailed this one - love the title too. Great to have you back in Poohville! ~ John Jan Allison April 30, 2020 at 1:18 PM Someone said to me I';d not done a poopy one in a while and I can't resist a challenge lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Lin Lane April 30, 2020 at 10:43 AM hmmm what a visual you've created in Sue's hall! She'd need a shovel instead of a poop scooper for that monstrous pooch. Jan Allison April 30, 2020 at 1:17 PM lol Lin I found the pic and then wrote the poem - not done poopy one in a while, thanks for dropping by:-) hugs Jan xx

Tom Cunningham April 30, 2020 at 10:01 AM Good one Jan, now that is some puppy lol. The one job I hated when we had a dog, scooping the poop. Tom Jan Allison April 30, 2020 at 10:36 AM Makes me so glad we had a cat when i was growing up then deal with the mess themselves, took years to discover the reason i got wheezy was due to fur !:-) hugs jan xx

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart April 30, 2020 at 9:39 AM Holy Neopolitan Mastiff! That guy is HUGE!!!! Fun poem Jan! I have been in the biz of dog care for 20 years, have not had a mastiff. I do love big dogs. I say, the difference between big dogs and little dogs is the owners. Hugs! xomo Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart April 30, 2020 at 11:06 AM You may have liked my first dog. She was very cat-like, un-doglike in all the ways I liked, sworn cat people liked her. But, oh lord, the fur ;), Jan Allison April 30, 2020 at 10:35 AM I've never been a doggy person much prefer cats but i have an allergy to animal fur, you are correct about the ownership of a pet Mo, I saw the pic and my mind went into overdrive lol my second cousin works at Battersea Dogs Home:-) hugs jan xx
