The Scoop

My neighbor called out from his stoop
as I walked my dog: What’s the scoop?”
“Nothing new in this town,”
I said as I reached down
with my baggie: “Just some dog poop.”

Hi Andrea, it's been a while since visiting PSoup and glad to see you're still hanging out and "kickin' em out" (poems of course). This one's a real "stinker" but I love it - LOL! Cheerios
