Poetry Thursday

 

Once again, Angel Sammys and Teddys Pawetaton have provided us with a photo for Poetry Thursday.

Roscoe was a happy dog living with just his mom

It was quiet and fun

Then his mom told him something that almost made him break out with mange

She was getting married but nothing was going to change

That wasn’t really true

He said to his Mom: “There’s a guy sleeping between men and you.

Can you make an exchange,”

She assured Roscoe nothing would change

Then one day she sat Roscoe down and said she was having a child

It would be cute, happy, playful, and not wild

But the two of them would never be estrange

And nothing would change

Roscoe’s mom was taking an experimental drug 

The doctor said she may have more than one, and she said humbug

Sure there were some things they may have to arrange

But nothing would change

Everyone was shocked when she had 17

And Roscoe’s life would never be serene

And from now on for food, he would have to scavenge

But nothing would change

Soon she found caring for 17 at once

With a husband she always knee was a dunce

And she was sure she would soon derange

And something had to change

She left in the middle of the night

And now Rosco and the dunce face a great fight

Their prospects looked poor in the short-range

Because there were 17 babies who all needed a change
