/// Mungo watches you like a rapt hawk.
She communicates, though she can’t talk.
Doesn’t whine, bark or holler;
brought her leash and her collar
and won’t leave. Take her out for her walk!!!
/// You have taught her well she must control
where she poops and pees. Her urgent goal
is get through the front gate
soon, before it’s too late,
so her eyes burrow deep in your soul.
/// As a dachshund, her legs barely grew,
but she’s active and loyal and true.
To hunt badgers they’re bred,
now this doxie, instead,
‘til you walk her is badgering you.
/// Picture now a reverse situation,
where your dog has the power of negation
over your defecation.
Anger, shame and frustration
would result in extreme aggravation.
/// Dachshunds think they’re a beautiful sight.
Compact, long, low, and strong in a fight.
All those long-legged mutts
with too-high-to-sniff butts
are just freakish and somethin’ ain’t right.
