You can’t teach an old dad new tricks…

Poem Artwork


I learned how to bark,


I learned how to with females spark,


I learned how to fetch the ball,


But damned if I learned how to roll over when called…


 


I know how to give my paw,


First one then the other without flaw,


I cannot catch a frizbee in my jaw,


But what I have learned would put you in awe…


 


Rufuz has taught me quite a great deal,


I even use a napkin when eating a meal,


He taught me how to burp out gas,


I learn well and never give back any sass…
