Excellent a humor sonnet Shedless by Bill Schott Sonnet Humor contest entry

I had to find a dog that didn’t shed, unlike our former golden labrador, which molted all about the floor and bed, ‘til we just couldn’t take it anymore. We sent him to a farm and shopped around, for puppies known to keep their fur intact; both sheepdogs and some collies could be found, but they lost hair like sea salt from a sack.  Pincers, pitbulls, terriers inspected, proved none had any charm to make them dear; finally, a poodle was selected, which filled the bill and started living here. It’s been a while and no fur has been found; the poodle does pee puddles all around.   Author Notes Image from Google
