Shaggy Dog Limericks Iii
The Doberman Pinscher
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 setter
Is they follow their genes to the letter
When spotting their prey
They will sit down and lay
Till it’s time to get up and go get ‘er
The German Shepherd
For a breed with a dubious rep
How ironic when choosing to prep
A dog steady and wise
To be some human’s eyes
At the top of the list is the Shep
The German Shorthaired Pointer
Pointing…it sounds like a breeze
Just stick out your tail and freeze
The hard work is done
Now wait for the gun
Taking care not to wiggle or sneeze
The Golden Retriever I
Consider the Golden Retriever
Part camel, part Wookie, part beaver
You can leave her alone
In your home with a bone
If you first take the time to relieve ‘er
The Golden Retriever II
Its coat is luxurious gold
Like the crown on a monarch of old
Thick but not kinky
Though occasionally stinky
What a glorious sight to behold!
The Greyhound
Though Greyhounds are known for their speed
There’s a dignified side to the breed
For when given a choice
Between rabbits and Joyce
They are likely to choose a good read
The Irish Setter
He’s Irish not Scottish or British
You forget, he’ll get ornery and skittish
He’ll point to his pelt
Start swearing in Celt
With a splash of some Gaelic and Yiddish
The Jack Russell Terrier
A packet of fizz the Jack Russell
Full of dashing and daring and bustle
With engine on race
And the world left to chase
Any wonder he makes such a fussle?
The Keeshond
I once knew a hound that was Dutch
Can’t say that I cared for him much
He lived on a barge
That was smelly and large
And grinned at the hint of a touch
The Kerry Blue Terrier
You ask, why include a new terrier
Not a hound or a pinscher or harrier?
Include them indeed
Not a different breed
‘cause they’re fun as a bun and lots hairier
