Dogs Playing Poker Poem
Expectation
Doing!!!
A bell sounds
And three dogs,
A Great Dane named
Basso, a collie named
Archibald, and a
Dachshund named Federico
Begin to salivate.
A mousy lab assistant
In a dingy frock
Serves the frothing dogs
Pig entrails and mash.
The dogs eat ravenously.
Later the dogs talk
Amongst themselves.
They agree the humiliation
Is a small price to pay
For aiding Pavlov in his
Crucial research and
Besides the lab girl
Has nice legs.
Federico says
It’s poker night.
The dogs laugh
In dog language.
