#ScoopThatPoop - The Poetry of Poop

For the third Scoop That Poop Blog Hop, we will be raising awareness about the importance of scooping poop by . . . writing poetry.  Yes, you read that right.  Scoop That Poop will be hosting a poetry contest, sponsored by Earth Rated Poop Bags.  For details about the contest and to enter, check out my pal Sugar's latest post at Golden Woofs.

I wrote a poem about how much I like to eat poop, but mom reminded me that the focus of Scoop That Poop is to encourage people to pick up poop and dispose of it properly -- and she says eating poop is not disposing of it properly.  There's no point in arguing with her.  So I wrote another poem . . . 

Garth's Poop Poem

We all need clean water to drink,

Because, you know, there is a link,

Between water pollution and doggy poo,

But there is something we all can do:

Always pick up your doggie's poop,

Use a bag, or use a scoop,

It doesn't matter how you do it,

Just pick it up, do it, DO IT.

Another Poop Poem by Garth

Some people say that poop is icky,

But leaving poop can make you sickie,

Dog poop contains lots of germs:

Bacteria, viruses, even worms.

Rain washes poop into the Bay,

And all the rivers, where we play,

So when you do not pick up poop,

The rivers & oceans become poop soup.

This is water where we swim and drink,

We don't want poop in it, don't you think?

See, it's easy.  Just write a poem, go to Golden Woofs to enter your poem, and maybe win some great Earth Rated Poop Bags.
