Puppy Tweaks His Daddys Nose

Wrinkly puppy grabs his daddy’s nose
Gives it a honk, while standing on his toes.
Why is this allowed? Daddy asks the mama.
She laughs like a goose, a hyena and a llama.

You are the one who lets him get the best of you.
He does not know better, he is just a pup.
She says “Tell him not to do it if it bothers you.”
The big old daddy rolls his eyebrows up.

“It’s okay,” he says. “He is all boy, after all.
I want him to have a little bit of vim, vigor and gall.”
The mama puppy allows this to go on awhile.
Loving it in her heart, trying not to show her smile.
