DogSpeak #17 Picking Up Poop

You say you spend
half you life
picking up poop
and I ask why
you want it.

You sing
Picking up poop
bag on hand
back cracks
when I stoop
picking up poop
scoot while
I collect your poo.

I ask again
why you want it,
I didn’t want it
so why do you?

You sing
Picking up poops
following behind
my pooch poops
doesn’t even say oops
here I am
spending my life
picking up poops
but I love you
so I collect your poo.

Ok, so you like to sing
so I give you something
to sing about.

Picking up poopers
scooping bloopers
left on the sidewalk
where we all walk
I need a bag of bags
but I love you, Trooper
so I spend my time
filling a trash pail
picking up your poo.

It’s not like it’s worth
anything, right?
I left it behind
so you’d have
something to do,
Daddy-do-do
picking up my poo.

No pooper scooper
big enough to say
how much I love you
but believe me
when I say I don’t love
picking up your poop.
