O to be a Puppy Again!
Dribble Doggies
🐶
Oh, that old slobber hound
flowing with feeling and sound
his life is the fancy tissue box
next to the bed, and watching clock
with white flags, flowers popping up
for another dribble or down, poor pup
so Rude it is handkerchief of paper
seem to be an essential caper
when sneezes come or run right down
the nose or mouth slobber clown
So with compassion we old ones hope
that you’ll see that we are not a dope
nor are we slovenly ancient slobs
who want to see snot in blobs
a, tissue box we thank Kleenex anyway
for keeping those dribbles away
off our chest, chin or clothes too
so much a kind of nasal glue
So here I shout out that is the drill
for the sake of good will, not ill
for this is part of getting older
noses and mouths just get much bolder
It seems like we almost do regress
to that crazy baby childhood mess
So to the gods of snot and funny drops
we no longer call the nasal shots
So be kind to us old folks with tissue
and with cloth, for it not an issue
to find any alarm, for it does us no harm
to reach those boxes with hands & Arms
🐶
