I ran across this old poem today ... no idea who wrote it ... thought I'd share it with you all  Runt  A farmers dog came into town his christian name was Runt A noble pedigree he had so please oblige his stunt And as he trotted down the street 'twas beautiful to see His work on every corner his work on every tree ~ He watered every gateway too and never missed a post For piddling was his specialty for piddling was his boast The city currs trooped on amazed with deep and zealous rage To see a simple country dog the piddler of the age Then all the dogs from everywhere were summoned by a yell To sniff the country stranger o're to judge him by his smell Some thought that he a king might be beneath his tail a rose So every city dog drew near and sniffed him up his nose ~ They smelled him over one by one they smelled him two by two And noble Runt in high distain stood still till they were through Then just to show the whole shebang he didn't give a dam He trotted to the grocery store and piddled on the ham He piddled on a mackeral keg he piddled on the floor And when the grocer kicked him out he piddled through the door Behind him all the city dogs lined up with instinct true To start a piddling carnival to see the stranger through ~ They showed him every piddling post they had in all the town And started in with many a wink to pee the stranger down They sent for champion piddlers who were always on the go Who sometimes did a piddling stunt or gave a piddling show They sprung this on him suddenly when midway in the town Runt only smiled and polished off the ablest white or brown For Runt was with them every trick with vigor and with vim A thousand piddlers more or less were all the same to him ~ But on and on went noble Runt as wet as any rill When all the champion city pups were pee'd to a stand still Then Runt did free hand piddling with fancy flirts and frills Like double dip and gimlet twist and all those graceful things And all the time this country dog did never wink or grin But piddled as blithly out of town as he piddled when he came in The city dogs convention held to ask what did defeat us But no one ever put them wise That Runt had Diabetes [This message has been edited by Rex Allen McCoy (edited 02-22-2000).] |

I just have to say that this made me laugh really hard and I needed that laugh. Thanks!! You don't know me, but you don't like me. You say you could care less how I feel. But how many of you who sit and judge me have ever walked the streets in my shoes?-Korn ~Lil OnE~ |

I'm glad everyone enjoyed this poem It was probably written over fifty years ago by the age of the book wense it came Too bad the the author couldn't get some recognition ... oh well ... one last fling before it goes back to the mercy of the dust bunnies |
