The Guessing Game
Write a poem about your favourite animal and see how many people can figure it out!
Slide on over, Stupid
Pooky-Bear thinks
he’s smart as a wink
when he’s dumb as any ol’ hound
He has her flamboozled,
that he’s sharp as a poodle
When I’ve searched and no brain can be found
And it’s all cause he’s talking
when they should be out walking
as if talking could make him unique
When there’s oodles of creatures
who spout off like preachers
but don’t say a thing you’d repeat.
In fact it’s the mutt
who keeps his trap shut
which garners my deepest esteem
Lying silent with pride
at his master’s side
without reiterating every damned thing.
But that’s not my lot
this dog that I’ve got’s
endlessly running mouth
Has put us in trouble
with us boys sleeping double
out in the freakin’ dog house
