.5. Teaching Who Poem by David Threadgold

Our puppies on learning curve
Many things we have to teach
He’s getting into everything
So we put things out of reach

He’s chewed a lower chair leg
Scratched the corner off a door
And every time we tell him no
He goes and does some more

We take him out for business trips
He prefers to run and hide
He never does his business
Till he’s safely back inside

Where he runs around the hallway
In the kitchen up the stairs
Leave’s lots of little messages
In all our comfy chairs

We run around behind him
Cleaning up what he might do
This always leaves me wondering
Who on earth is teaching who
