Toe didn't have a normal childhood - not like you and me.
His folks built him a doghouse and called it his nursery.
It all worked out quite well but there was only one small hitch..
When Toe was near they dog they couldn't quite tell which was which!




Toerag was raised on Kennel Ration plus some Puppy Chow.
He licked the bowl clean every night but please don't ask me how.
The poor dog turned to skin and bones as Toerag got quite fat..
In order to survive the poor dog had to eat the cat!!!




But Toerag had a cunning brain. His instincts were quite good.
He knew somewhere there had to be some real "people" food.
He found the fridge, crawled in and then ate everything in sight
And never touched dog food again, to Bowser's great delight!




When it came time to bathe him, he was just too hard to scrub.
He always left a greasy ring around the bathroom tub.
His folks then came up with a plan to get rid of his grime
And wash the pots and pans and dishes, too, at the same time.




He had a knack for painting at a very early age.
He couldn't stay within the lines or even on the page
But he could paint his sister with a real master's touch
(Although she said, in later years, she didn't like it much!)




So that's a small idea of how Toerag started out.
It's clear to see why he is what he is, without a doubt.
So pat him on the head and tell him "Good boy!" when you can
Let's all pretend that Toe grew up to be a real man!

I'm not much for 'cute' things, but I really liked this for some reason :-)
