Shaggy Dog Story

Friends, humans, country bumpkins,
bend me your ears;
'tis too true a tale
I tell thee here...
Once upon a time,
knew a girl who owned a mutt
but she did exclaim,
'It's the cutest pup you ever did see,'
all the same, it seems to be
asinine to give a dog a bad name
but it's not the worst
her canine could receive,
it wasn't cursed
when

Grub Like Shaggy and Scooby

I want to grub like Shaggy and Scooby,
To feast like kings—no morsel too unruly.
A towering buffet, a calorie spree,
A symphony of snacks calling to me.

Imagine the plates they so bravely heap,
Mountains of munchies, a flavor-rich sweep.
Hot dogs stacked in a gravity-defying feat,
Where every bite spells “legendary eat!”

Pizzas with toppings that stretch the surreal,
Taco shells cracking

A Brief Shaggy Dog Story that actually Ends

   A shaggy dog espied a graceful cat
     She arched her back, he fell flat
   on his jowls, she pivoted - nose up
     His paws akimbo, Shaggy arfed
         Wait, dear cat, I can explain that

The Spaniel

A Spaniel that uses its head 
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 joy 
The definitive Lord Fauntleroy 
But with all that coiffure
One is never quite sure 
If the “she” is a girl

The Rottweiler

I wouldn’t provoke a Rottweiler
Not unless I were prepped like a miler
Seems a little inbreeding
Done without heeding
Has turned Benji into a Sieg Heiler

The Saint Bernard

Though not in his nature to beg
He would flip for a sip from the keg
Of the rum or the brandy
That dangles so handy
His lips near the tips of the peg

Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever (Toller)

To “toll” is to dance like a fox
Luring mallards or teals to the rocks
Where a hunter’s awaiting
What the dog has been baiting
Scaring duckies right out of their jocks

The Old English Sheepdog

I’m partial to dogs that are shaggy
That are goofy and sweet and not naggy
They only see good
From their eyes under

The Labradoodle

It’s clear that the scamp is a Poodle
By its frolicsome dabble and doodle
But add a big part
Of the Labrador’s heart
And you’ve got the whole kit and caboodle

The Labrador Retriever (Lab)

The Lab a friend gave to his daughter
Had a chronic aversion to water
He’d cling to the shore
Like a rug to the floor
To avoid making waves

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

The Bichon Frise

The Bichon in chiffon looks so frou 
That the crowd duly wowed has to coo 
‘Til the dog starts to droop
And its owner to scoop 
Some acutely embarrassing doo

The Border Collie

It was not Albert Einstein who dared 
To think E = mc2
But rather a Border 
Who brought cosmic order
One morning while out with

The Affenpinscher (Affen)

Not sniffle nor snuffle nor wheeze 
Not chest in distress if you please 
None we have found
Quite capture the sound
Of its name (which is more

Shaggy Dog Story

My Celtic Grandfather bred Irish Wolf Hounds.
He was a stern man, as inflexible as stone,
a hard Ulsterman
wed to a soft Erin woman.

“Never let yourself be alone with the hounds,”
he warned.

Yet I went;
I stole into the garden on an evening
when the sun was falling asleep.

The giant hounds gathered round me
Growling,
then they hunkered down
and discussed among themselves
what

A Shaggy Tale

A Shaggy Tale
By Jan Beaumont ©

My hairdresser - like me -
is still on lockdown
My image in the mirror's
made it crack
I'm thinking I should go 
into the bedroom
Turn the lock and stay there 
till she's back.

I look like some untidy 
scruffy hobo
My unkempt mane has turned from
blonde to white
Its grown like garden weeds
In summer rainfall
I'm honestly
A

Shaggy Hair

Shaggy is the only way to describe my head covering 
Birdies realized they could build a home there, so they're hovering 
Hoping for an upscale nest
Even thought of my chest
Haven't had hair there since I was young tweeter tweetering

The Old Shaggy Yellow Spotted Dog

the old shaggy yellow spotted dog
ran quickly around the drawing room 
chasing a long tale

until it spotted itself
in a mirror on the wall
and was amazed 

by how old it is looking 
and how quickly 
time passes

remembering its youth 
it laid down in a cradle in the woom 
and cried

Shaggy Rug Dog

Once my dog humped the rug (yes, a shag!)
A new species was born. I could gag!
It is half carpet but
It is one half a mutt.
Shaggy rug dog has tails that can wag!


Happy April Fools Day, Everyone!!!
