Carrie Richards Poet Rhyme

Yakety Yak What Was That

You're scolding me, as if I care
For tearing up another pair!
But, "blah, blah, blah"..... is all that's clear
It's miscommunication in first gear!
Yakety Yak!!

Don't you see that it's no use??
I'm just a mutt, (that's my excuse)...
Those scalding words you shout to me?
For floppy ears? ...... Eluding me!
All I hear is "Yakety yak"!!! 

What's with that??

You get upset when I bark loud
Or when I jump into the crowd
That time I chewed newspapers on the floor
Or when I jumped through the screen door

Yakety Yak!!!

You chased me once with that straw broom
Just because I wee-weed in the room
You keep on shouting this and that
But to me it's only "Yakety-yak"!!

What was that???!!!!!!

Carolyn Devonshire August 6, 2010 at 11:35 AM Really funny, Carrie! Dogs probably would like to talk back. Maybe it would be fun to spend a day as a dog and try to interpret what human's are saying. The cats I had responded more to the emotion in my voice than my words, but they did come running when I called their names. Best wishes in the contest! Love, Carolyn
