Neighborhood Lunch - Jan Allison Style

Neighborhood lunch I once saw a cat very hyper This fine feline needed a diaper For when she would go She put on a show Meowing for someone to wipe her She pranced through the yard just complaining Her voice from meowing now straining She started to leave Not hard to believe The small smelly package remaining She couldn’t be bothered to bury Not like other cats, don’t you worry It’d stay in the yard Until it got hard And flies came around in a hurry When up walked a dachshund named Rummy Who liked when you rubbed on his tummy He barked, “lookie there” “My neighbor did share” While licking his lips he howled “Yummy”

That's some funny "sh*t" there Chris, and so true about dogs. I sure got a giggle out of this one :)

Chris, this is SO awesome! And like Daniel says, hilarious. I like it so much because it's very true how it ends. We had to buy a special little gate to separate an area in our basement from the rest of the basement because our dog Snickers was eating our cat's poo. dogs are very stupid in that way. YUCK!!!! Now he can't get under that gate. But we can't stop him stealing our food off the countertops if we forget to put them too close to the edge!

These plops of poop from you, Chris, are the cat's meow. I won't even think about the doggie buffet...ugh.
