Walking the Dog

I had a dog that did not bark,
one day I took it to the park.
It stopped beside the plants
and started eating ants;
a passer by said "nice aardvark".

Funny write, Terry. I’ve just published a book of kids poems with two anteater poems, so this particularly tickled my funny bone. Congrats. Terry

Thank you, Terry; I was desperate to get Aardvark in a poem somehow, I just think the word is so amusing.

Congratulations on your win. I love this fun/cute dog limerick. Guess he is easier to take care of and less costs on food/vet bills. Have a great/blessed day.......................
