Rascal

The other day

After some rowdy play

I kissed my hound dog's snout

Got his eye snot in my mouth

I was so grossed out

I panicked, wiping

Vigorously at my mouth

I only just smeared it

Across my front teeth

My blotted smile in the mirror

Added to my sickening disbeleif

I'm not gonna

Describe the taste

But you should'a

Seen my face

It was sticky & guey

Not the ones dried to a crust

I brushed & brushed

Flossed & rinsed

In total disgust

Double checked my smile

And after a while

I settled back down

Upon my lazy boy

Swished away damn

Dog hair from my pants

In door hounds are

Such a nuisance

-Bourbon over ice

-That bitter burn

-Ever so nice

...Then he came

'A wandering over

Wagging, with his

Favorite, slimy toy

Dropped it on my lap

As if to say hi

Licked my hand and-

Actually winked his nasty eye

I made a fist, but

Only humbly laughed

I love that ole dopey hound

But sometimes wanna kick his ass...
