Give a Hoot and Say "Bah!"

"THE FARMER AND THE QUEEN"

by Shel Silverstein 

"She's coming," the farmer said to the owl.

"Oh, what shall I, what shall I do?

Shall I bow when she comes?

Shall I twiddle my thumbs?"

The owl asked, "Who?"

"The Queen, the Queen, the royal Queen—

She'll pass the farm today.

Shall I salute?" he asked the horse.

The horse said, "Nay."

 

"Shall I give her a gift?" he asked the wren.

"A lovely memento for her to keep?

An egg or a peach or an ear of corn?"

The wren said, "Cheap."

 

"But should I curtsy or should I cheer?

Oh, here's her carriage now.

What should I do?" he asked the dog.

The dog said, "Bow."

 

And so he did, and so she passed,

Oh, tra lala lala,

"She smiled, she did!" he told the sheep.

The sheep said, "Bah."

In Honor of National Dog Day: My Dog May Be a Genius

My Dog May Be a Genius 

by Jack Prelutsky

My dog may be a genius,

and in fact there’s little doubt.

He recognizes many words,

unless I spell them out.

If I so much as whisper “walk,”

he hurries off at once

to fetch his leash…it’s evident

my dog is not a dunce.

I can’t say “food” in front of him,

I spell f-o-o-d,

and he goes wild unless I spell

his t-r-e-a-t.

But recently this tactic

isn’t working out too well.

I think my d-o-g has learned

to s-p-e-l-l.

You can adopt a genius dog in my etsy shop:

If Luther Burbank Did It With Plants, Why Not With Animals?

Follow along carefully.  There's some deep scientific thought ahead.

This is how you make a butterfly dog.

And this is how you make a butterfly cat.

Ode to a Cocker Spaniel

There was a fine pup named Nathaniel,

 

The best kind of best Cocker Spaniel.

He'd fetch ball or frisbee or can-iel,

Was best friend to woman and man-iel,

Of suppertime was a great fan-iel 

And lived life according to plan-iel.
