Aww... you're a cute dog. I guess you're feelin like a "nerddog". But learning to swim is a good thing(being a dog, won't take you long til you're "dog-paddling").
Then you won't have to worry bout your street cred or getting a date... oh, you're just too funny Your sense of humor & way with words... here I am, a human writing to you Don't worry, you won't have to wear that contraption forever(specially if you keep up that strategy lying where they trip over you til every time you have to wear it... oh, and that's a thought. Maybe they're going to teach you to snowski. Then you can find any snobby girl dogs who made fun of you, and play that video for them, "How do you like me now?".
Poor thing.... super, barking hostile mad... but it'll be worth it!

(BTW-great writing & hilarious, "thoughtful" poem, Serpico!!)

You're just too cute! Thought I needed to visit you again. See the polar bear... he already knows how to swim. (So don't worry if the other dogs on the block or nearby park laugh at you... you'll be swimming & snowskiing just like the bear, in no time... and won't need the goggles anymore.)
... even if you had to wear goggles all day, like I wear glasses, you're still very cool-"street cred", "landing a date" - what a way with words! Yep, very cool, cuz you're so much fun!!

Well.... ok, Serpico12. I'll try, one time - guess it should be about animals(and short, since I'm not a poet, & Never did I ever consider writing one on a public forum )
For you, Dog- here goes... I'll practice what I preach

Actually, it's already here (and I like spoiling Dog; besides, I needed to show him I wasn't all talk & no action- I had to be brave! )
