Horrid Stench
what on earth was going on?
ungodly racket just fore dawn
woke me from an awesome dream
daily happening, so it seemed
flower bed was in a mess
doggie barking quite distressed
out he ran with tail tween legs
wearing coat of horrid stench
at my feet he lay his head
playing stupid, acting dead
burned my nose with putrid smell
eyes were tearing, burned like hell
water hose within my reach
grabbed hold quick of Rusty's leash
sprayed him good which made things worse
nausea danced like wretched curse
tomato juice was much in need
to scrub his coat 'til squeaky clean
wipe him dry, sneak back to bed
dream more dreams of love again
drifting off to slumber-land
all is quiet just as planned
peaceful feeling covers me
warms with pure serenity
all at once jarred from sleep
woken by unpleasant stink
Rusty running tail 'tween legs
wearing coat of horrid stench
blood was boiling, mood in fit
damn old dog just doesn't quit
yet....
never can I turn away
he's bestest friend at end of day
Picture this challenge
smelly situations
