Ezra “Dog” Pound

Some folks would put people down.
Others like to pick ’em up.
But the ones should wear a crown
are the folks who love a pup.
Those in need of an ice melter,
are aplenty, get in line.
Head on to your nearest shelter.
Pick you up a used canine.
Rescue dogs are special cases,
victims of abuse, neglect.
You’ll fall in love with their faces.
It might be hard to select.
So, maybe you might pick two,
pug, lab, collie, or a mutt.
One thing’s certain: they’ll love you.
You will sense that in your gut.
Soon you’ll be wondering how
you survived without these pets.
Maybe time to get a cow?
(When you feel this, hedge your bets!)
