The Wrong Impression

There’s a talent show this evening at the RSPCA
Eight or nine impressionists are on the bill today
Some will do wild animals and some will croak like frogs
And a few, it seems, will do domestic cats and dogs

Well the show’s been on a while and the talent’s fairly rough
I’m thinking that I might go home because I’ve heard enough
The fella who just did a fish by flapping on the floor
Nearly made me leave but there are just a couple more

The last but one contestant did a half way decent leopard
My programme says this final act will do a German Shepherd
The audience responded as though they were sound asleep
When the guy took to the stage and said...

...‘Ve’re are ze sheep’

Thank you Ilene, one of the jottings from when I was pushing back against the block. Glad you enjoyed. Terry

Hey, Rico. If I get done on some dumb-ass woke charge, I’m naming you as my partner in crime! ;-) Terry

Thanks, Milt. I hope it wasn’t my mastery of exotic accents that you consider’ poor. ;-) Terry

Thanks, Tom. The German shepherd gag occurred to me when my first shepherd was still with me. Never thought to poetise it... until now. Terry
