Why Dogs Sniff Each Other's Behinds

Why Dogs Sniff Behinds

By Elton Camp

All dogs very long ago, a meeting did call
Each hung his behind on a peg on the wall

The conclave was going along pretty well
When a passing cat the canines did smell

Desire to chase him created quite an uproar
And the pack of dogs rushed out of the door

First, each a behind proceeded to snatch
However, dogs and behinds didn’t match

But in their frenzy to chase the cat,
The pack of dogs forgot about that

But, from that confused day until this
Dogs, their own behinds do miss

They would know their own by a whiff
So that why they always continue to sniff

You say that this tale you don’t believe?
Surely you can’t think that I’d deceive!
