My Dog Eats Poo
TITLE: My Dog Eats Poo
BY: Amy Hublou
Today is the day
my puppy comes home
I am so excited
I’ve waited so long
As she comes through the door
I run to her
We roll on the ground
and I tussle her fur
She licks my face
And I hug her tight
We both know at once
It’s love at first sight
But wait
What is that thing you do
Running outside now and
Eating poo??
Don’t do that
You silly mutt
It makes your kisses
smell like butt
She spots the barn and
jump through the panels
She chows on turds
From all of the mammals
The herds and the birds
Offer a wide array
A sampling if you will
A number two buffet
She licks the waste
of chickens and geese
she eats the droppings
of goats and sheep
In between servings
She runs up the trail
Wanting to play
And wagging her tail
But she stinks
and I do not want her near
Poop coats her tongue
Instead of her rear
I give her a bath
To get her clean
but she runs outside
as soon as she’s free
She heads for the hills
and finds a cow pie
A heaping dessert
topped with flies
And when she's all done
she heads my way
she licks my face
To my dismay
Yuck! I say
as I push her away
But she keeps coming back
Wanting to play
So what do you do
When your dog eats poo
And she will not stop
When you tell her too
She’s just a puppy
And she hasn’t learned
That her doo doo breath
Makes my tummy turn
So I go to the garden and
gather some herbs
I mix them together
And concoct a cure
Parsley and mint
a ball of green
She eats it right up
And now her breath is clean
You see, when you live on a farm
You learn of strange things
Animals with bad habits or
unusual disease
But no matter how weird
things may get
Remember Keep calm
and try not to fret
Because tomorrow will come
And it will start all anew
Ignoring her kibble
she will choose the poop stew.
