“Silly Little Puppy, Lip Balm is for People!”

“Silly Little Puppy, Lip Balm is for People!”

You Funny little Puppy
cute as you can be
your soft, tiny paws
always padding towards trouble
Will you ever learn?

As I walk in the door
a small whimper enters my ear
& I sigh as I discover the culprit
a half-chewed tube of lip balm
I throw it out & pick up the victim
“You silly little puppy!” I say

Her tummy aching,
and as I kiss her small head
“Will you ever learn?” I ask
and looking up at me,
with large, innocent eyes,
we both know the answer.
