Notes About The Poem

Date: 3/28/2024

Contest: Senryu's 3 Rhymed by 3 Unrhymed 

Sponsor: Hilo Poet

Two, One, or Zero

Two wiener dogs meet
Each yap loudly, strangely greet
Oddly on the street

Hounds bite other's butt 
Owner blames the other's mutt
Not open and shut

I note discreetly,
"Both were gone quick and neatly, 
Devoured completely"

Another witness 
Says, "'twas one, not two or none 
Lucky to remain"

Judge asked the witness,
"If each pooch ate the other  
Which was out, which in?"

A surprise witness
Loudly shouts, "there were two, they
Switched identities"

Quite Surreal, but as humans belonging to weiner dogs know, the dogs often are! I liked your poem.
