A Look At a Dog
Dogs smell funny. They have bad breath and gas, too.
Dogs can be picky, but still eat many things, and when they do,
they might get sick. And then we, the humans, must clean it up.
We must feed the dog and give him water in a bowl, not a cup.
I tried that once (and it’s not the best idea ever).
Dogs sleep in random places, and are easy to trick (because we’re more cleaver).
Dogs want to play all the time; they like fetch and tug-of-war.
But we humans set the rules. We decide to let them out the door
or trick them into going outside before we shut it quick.
Dogs are not smart enough for my trick.
Sometimes, they’ll just cuddle and be calm.
But that will soon end, because it never lasts long.
There is dog hair everywhere because they SHED.
Even if they live outside, their hair will end up in your bed.
All in all, I kind of like dogs. They’re not so bad.
They are better than many other living things, so I’m glad.
A Look at a Man
Men smell funny. They have bad breath and gas, too.
Men can be picky, but they still eat many things, and when they do,
they might get sick. Because they never know when to quit.
It’s up to us, the women, to help them stay fit.
I tried that once (and it’s not the best idea ever).
Men sleep in random places, and are easy to trick (because we’re more cleaver).
Men want to play and not just talk; they like catch and wrestling on the floor.
But we women set the rules. We decide to kick them out the door
or trick them into doing dishes for us quick.
But men are too caring to see through my trick.
Sometimes, they’ll just cuddle and be calm.
But that will soon end, because it never lasts long.
There is hair everywhere because both of us SHED.
And then you get married, they end up in your bed.
All in all, I kind of like men. They’re not so bad.
They are better than many other living things, so I’m glad.
A Note About my Comparisons
Once, I hung out with my dog, but I was missing my long-distance hunny.
So Dr. Wile E. Coyote said that he sent the dog in his place (funny).
I mentioned how annoying the dog was, but he just shrugged.
And I began to see what he was talking about, so the dog was hugged.
It’s not that Dr. WEC is a dog or anything like that,
But I see the dog more often, and he’s not a cat.
And because the Doc is such a dog person, I guess I’ll hear his say;
Especially ‘cuz we’ll probably end up getting a dog one day.
