I’m sorry I used your toothbrush,
really I truly am.
I don’t know what came over me,
please don’t tell me Mam!
I really wasn’t thinking straight,
it was merely my mistake,
I saw it sat upon the sink,
it was the obvious choice to take.
A spur of the moment action,
to right some rancid breath,
a brush, a swill, to clear the air,
to prevent halitosis death.
I thought I was doing the right thing,
just to help out, you see?
To make his teeth go pearly white,
with breath all minty and clean.
I know it was quite wrong of me,
and it really wasn’t right,
but now at least the doggies teeth,
are clean and really white!

I’m imagining a bright flash-of-white sparkle as the dog looks at me 😀
halitosis… i remember tossing around this word a lot as a child: look, i know a word and you don’t know what it means! #evil
Ah, such fun. 🙂
You rock at rhymes!
Haha thank you very much – this is a very old rhyme of mine. It has been rattling around for ages. I thought it was time to send it out into the world 🙂
That was funny, and poignant!
Hehe thank you!

haha!cutey dog it was…very playful..I hate it when I sat beside someone with halitosis..We use that word while I was in college and they were very clueless! hehe naughty me 🙂
Yes it is difficult when someone suffers halitosis – the other problem is garlic breath – but dog breath is a whole different matter! We used to call it dragon morning breath!! 🙂
Oh, that’s an informative one! thank you, my dog would love to know about this! 🙂
Love it. Cute and witty.
Aw thank you very much 🙂
