Pug-nosed pugnacious Polly loved to fight
She started brawls every Saturday night
Snapping, snarling, punching, sneak pinching too
I don’t want to go to bars with her. Do you?
Consumed by their anger, the flames they stoke.
They blame and defame, label others as "woke".
The pugnacious pen only aims to provoke..
My son has a new dog called Brandy
By jingo that pup is so randy
He caused quite a to do
When he humped my left shoe
No wonder his legs are so bandy!

Pugnacious Pete was his Pseudonym
Pete Plied Pugilism in the gym
Though Pete Prayed to Phix his Plight
Poor Pete seldom won a Phight
Pete's Phighting career was looking grim!

I am a pugnacious old pooch-
with prowess I guard my man's hooch,
when the master comes home
he throws me a bone-
but I'd prefer a poodle to smooch!
