WE HAVE ROTTWEILERS NOW !
My feet are covered with sores and marks.
My nerves are shattered from sudden barks.
My wallet's empty from paying the Vet,
and those Rotties are eating me into debt.
I sit down to rest in my favorite chair
And quick as a flash, the Rotties are there.
They've hauled off my shoes and chewed up my pipe,
But act so damned hurt, if I venture to gripe.
I rise in the morning, the new day to greet,
To find a Rottweiler standing firm on my feet.
I trip over another as I'm combing my hair,
While the puppy pulls hard at my underwear.
My fresh cup of coffee is now on the rug,
'Cause the bitch gave my arm a sweet playful tug.
I'd pour me another, but sure as can be,
The Rotties would dump it all over me.
Please believe me people, it's darn hard to write,
While my hand still hurts from that last loving bite.
The puppy is sneaking up in my lap,
While the one on my feet is down for a nap.
So to Hell with home life as it used to be,
And to Hell with quiet evenings with my family,
And to Hell with the money I'd spend anyhow!
Who needs them all......We've got Rottweilers now!!

         OUR 2 PUPS or (All I See)
Now our pups can romp together,
 For they've grown up big enough
So twice each day we let them play
  As long as they aren't rough.
We let them out to go outside,
 and the 2 can hardly wait.
Each is afraid to get behind,
 As they charge on through the gate.
I write this just to share a smile,
 for a funny sight takes place.
Both pups push against each other,
 To see who'll win their race.
They run on down the hallway,
 And head for the doggy-door.
I wonder what will happen when,
They'll not fit through no more.
When that day comes, God forbid,
 What EVER will they do
Bob and I will just make bets
 To see who will beat out who.
But until then, as I write you this
 I see as they're on their way.
2 butts pushing against each other,
 As they race outside to play.
