Said the Man to the Dawg "Walkies, freak.
It's time you went out for a leak."
The Dawg said "No rush!
See that poor dying bush?
I've been watering it for a week."

Thank you Tess. Thank you Frances.
Very clever response to the prompt. And thanks for turning off word verif'.
ReplyDeleteThanks Berowne. Do you think we could persuade folk to similarly turn off "Comment Moderation."
Deleteheh heh heh! This fits brilliantly! And in so few words!
ReplyDeleteoh hahahah snort hahahah and oh yes thanks for no word verification! It's enough to make a nice dawg bite!
ReplyDeletelol....smiles...poor plant....
ReplyDeleteIs it a pea plant then? =D I loved your funny interpretation Dr. Thank you for the smiles.
ReplyDeleteLove it - but I think that dawg has got to my computer! I'm hoping this bit will work, at least...
ReplyDeleteBT is misbehaving today, but it seems that I am still in the good books of Google - all communication will depend on comment boxes! Alleluia, Blogger...if I were a dog I'd woof a thank you. Feel free to delete this Doc - it's my only line out at the moment...
ReplyDeleteI love this! (thanks for the mention. "Walkies" was the first thing that occurred to me, too. You and I obviously share the same....well, the same something. Great minds,? Silly minds? Whatever )
ReplyDeleteLove it! Reminds me of a plant in our garden that my husband disliked ... I couldn't understand why it never thrived.
ReplyDeleteAh, so that's what happened to it.
ReplyDeleteNice twist!
ReplyDelete*hee-hee*
ReplyDeleteSneaky (leaky?) dog!
Clever!
Goodness, Doctor! You've changed a lot since last week. Which is the real you? The limerick's up to scratch, though.
ReplyDeleteLucy . . you're a fine writer, and as such you surely know that there's no such thing as the "real" person - only the selected fictions we present to each other. BTW - where have you been recently? I'm missing your beautiful adverb-free pieces.
ReplyDeleteOh great take! so true-didn't think of that one!
ReplyDeleteHa! And it had been a geranium! k.
ReplyDeleteGiggle! Stinky, too, most likely. (It's nice to see your face.)
ReplyDeletenice one Dr. thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteOh just brilliant!
ReplyDeleteAnna :o]
I cannot wait to show your Mag to my husband. He will love it. :)
ReplyDelete(We refer to our walks with our dog as "walkies" too. Long time ago I saw a TV show about a British woman who did a dog training show on TV over there. It was the term she used and I used it ever since.)
Lydia - I guess you are referring to Barbara Woodhouse. Yes, she had a popular series of dog training shows on UK TV. You will find a pic of her here (scroll well down), and Google Images will throw up many more.
Deletehahaha!!x
ReplyDeleteDeputy Dawg came to my mind ~~~ this is soooooo funny!
ReplyDeleteHahaha - I can't believe I didn't see this earlier! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteA very funny piece. I like it! I'd forgotten about Barbara Woodhouse! Oh that voice! "Walkies"!!
ReplyDelete( I don't have comment moderation but I'm seriously thinking about it as I have an 'anonymous' who insists on leaving spam and no matter how many times I've tried to block, he/she still gets through!)
When a dogs gotta go... I'd say the dog was quite considerate :)
