- by Shel Silverstein
{\______________/} Would you like to buy a dog
( ) with a tail at either end?
/||~~~~~~~~~~||\ He is quite the strangest dog
|_\\_ _//_| there is in town.
"' ""' '"" '" Though he's not too good at knowing
just exactly where he's going,
He is very, very good at sitting down.
He doesn't have a place
to put a collar,
And I'll admit it's rather __,,__
hard to lead him, .' `.
And he cannot hear you call / )----( \
For he has no ears at all, {\/__||_ _||__\/}
But it doesn't cost a ~ """''""" ~
single cent to feed him.
( He cannot bite,
8 he'll never bark or growl,
8 ) Just scratch him on his tails,
( 8 he'll find it pleasing.
8 , 8 But you'll have to take him out
.=_`-. for twice as many walks,
(_-__;_) And I'll bet that you can
"'"'"'""""''"' quickly guess the reason.
