Can tell when its owner’s unfed 
So instead of a duck
That is down on its luck 
Will deliver a pizza instead
 
The Afghan Hound

The Afghan’s a dog groomer’s...

A Doberman’s known to be picky
With friends so to greet one is tricky
To kiss is a bummer
Undoubtedly dumber
Is to sneak up and give one a hickey

The English Setter

The reason we call them a...

At the water’s edge I stood.

Oh my heart was invigorated to see the soft ripples in the water.

There was a warm breeze that also moved my hair.

I felt the Lord’s presence all around me.

Living in the nether
Couldn't keep it together
For a long time wore a fetter
Remaining tethered
Occasionally got tarred and feathered
To your expectations I lost interest if I'll ever measure
Eventually I read a letter
Took off my sweater
Then walked...

A new year to begin with a laugh and a grin, effort put in to resolutions and
absolution for sins. Your own and your kin (though sometimes you can't win)
I burst like electrocution on January first...

Twenty one hands high
I will ignore my mistress, taking no direction.

I will run toward the valley
Where I will be free with no bridle or saddle
Thundering through,...

Was at a hearing with my attorney
She was more childish than Bert and Ernie
     Played I-Pod video games
     My anger sure was in flames
Years had passed since...

I Wish
I wish I could start over again
There’s a lot of things that could have been
I wish I hadn’t caused so much harm
Things that set off my inner alarm
I wish the things I know now...

Premenstrual syndrome my fault,
can’t bring her crying to a halt!
No cheese in the fridge,
she whines unabridged,
then nicely says “please pass the salt”.

Told me I’m no good for daddy,
I told her I’m not his caddie,

I order a Guinness and a shot of Pappy Van Winkle.
My green paper Leprechaun hat is crushed
and lopsided on my head.

That shot of bourbon cost me more
then I used to earn for a day's work.

“I'm...

I don’t think she’s ugly, she’s just not pretty.
This girl is one of many I see in this city.
The women around here are so dull and plain.
It’s not hard to treat any of them with...

Orangutan and Terrible

Is an orangutan and Trump the Terrible;
Horrible hair and appearance are unbearable;
Some say it looks like an Irish Setter,
And could his behavior ever be better.

On Hillary we had placed entire bet
Now do have...
