POOP ON THE FLOOR

It’s better to not
Ignore what was before
Get to cleaning it up
Especially poop on the floor

That poop is a clue
That something was not right
Was it possible that you
Didn’t let her out last night?

Of course there’s poop
And then there’s poop
Learning to own and clean up
Requires bowing in humility

Then there’s those others
Maybe never been house trained
Or just…
Are outside dogs

So how’s your floor?
I’m back to forgive and being forgiving
A full spray bottle of detergent
Makes for more pleasant living

“Damn filthy dogs!
Just look at my floor!”
Just remember the detergent
And just shut the dang door.
