Dog: Forward Or Backward Poem by Long Tooth

Dog: Forward Or Backward



Word 'dog' is 'god' spelled backward, yes?
And both could be a friend,
A bone you throw to Deity
Might save you in the end.

Most dogs will stay in family yard,
Are never far from home,
But God is always everywhere,
He has no need to roam.

And all that either asks is 'love, '
Would back rub be too much?
A shared meal and a pint of prayer
Can help you stay in touch.

Forgiveness is their forte too,
Their watchful eyes foretell,
You think that you have blown the gig,
But still, are doing swell!

A dog is nature's way to show
A home is not a zoo!
You don't need bars to keep him in,
The problem's pee and poo!

Though dog may have an accident,
Your God is potty-trained,
He mostly picks up after men,
God's cleanliness ingrained.

And training God is just a snap,
You listen, rarely speak,
His treats are worth far more than gold,
Correction, not critique.

And dog or God would have you know
Love always finds reward,
So take your licks, throw balls, chase sticks,
Be humble, 'All aboard! '

Long Tooth, have you been to the dentist recently? no. dog is god, not God, spelled backward! favorite lines [among many]: A dog is nature’s way to show A home is not a zoo! You don’t need bars to keep him in, The problem's pee and poo! ..................................i'm toilet-oriented! And training God is just a snap, You listen, rarely speak, His treats are worth far more than gold, Correction, not critique.......................here, lines one and four are a bit unclear to ME. i guess i can interpret All aboard! as i see fit, or just think of it as another nice rhyme. overall i enjoyed this rhyming comparison a lot. i'm not sure what sort of picking up after men God does. how about the women? i thought that was THEIR job! ! a nice one, LONG TOOTH! i'll visit the page and leave most of this message as my comment. to MyPoemList. bri :)
