I circle the toilet three times,

I sniff at it to be sure its mine,

Firstly I lift my leg to let go the flow,

Then I make sure nobody’s lookin’,

Only then do I squat & help the grass to grow…

On my tummy do I lay,

When there’s food in my bowl,

Why not be comfy when eating, I say…

I chase squirrels & birds,

Smell everything I come upon, including turds,

These habits I did from my dog learn,

And I like having my back scratched, that I never spurn,

As well from him I’ve learned not to write with empty words…

You don’t want to know what I do when people I meet,

Oh, you do, well then I’ve learned to stick my nose in their seat,

With some it is a really hard to do feat,

But it tells me so much, sometimes though one has to be completely discreet…
