THREE MALE DOGS AND A POODLE

THREE HANDSOME MALE DOGS

ARE WALKING DOWN THE STREET

WHEN THEY SEE A BEAUTIFUL,

ENTICING, FEMALE POODLE.

THE THREE MALE DOGS FALL

ALL OVER THEMSELVES IN AN EFFORT

TO BE THE ONE TO REACH HER FIRST,

BUT END UP ARRIVING IN FRONT OF HER

AT THE SAME TIME.

THE MALES ARE SPEECHLESS

BEFORE HER BEAUTY,

SLOBBERING ON THEMSELVES AND

HOPING FOR JUST A GLANCE

FROM HER IN RETURN.

AWARE OF HER CHARMS AND HER

OBVIOUS EFFECT ON THE THREE SUITORS,

SHE DECIDES TO BE KIND AND TELLS THEM

“THE FIRST ONE WHO CAN USE THE WORDS

“LIVER” AND “CHEESE” TOGETHER

IN AN IMAGINATIVE, INTELLIGENT

SENTENCE CAN GO OUT WITH ME.”

THE STURDY, MUSCULAR BLACK LAB

SPEAKS UP QUICKLY AND SAYS

“I LOVE LIVER AND CHEESE.”

“OH, HOW CHILDISH,”

SAID THE POODLE.

“THAT SHOWS NO IMAGINATION OR

INTELLIGENCE WHATSOEVER.”

SHE TURNED TO THE TALL,

SHINY GOLDEN RETRIEVER AND SAID

“HOW WELL CAN YOU DO?”

“UMMMM...I HATE LIVER AND CHEESE,”

BLURTS THE GOLDEN RETRIEVER.

“MY, MY,” SAID THE POODLE.

“I GUESS IT’S HOPELESS.

THAT’S JUST AS DUMB AS THE

LAB’S SENTENCE.”

SHE THEN TURNS TO THE LAST OF

HE THREE DOGS AND SAYS,

“HOW ABOUT YOU, LITTLE GUY?”

THE LAST OF THE THREE,

TINY IN STATURE BUT BIG IN

FAME AND FINESSE,

IS THE TACO BELL CHIHUAHUA.

HE GIVES HER A SMILE,

A SLY WINK AND TURNS TO

THE GOLDEN RETRIEVER

AND THE LAB AND SAYS...  
“LIVER ALONE. CHEESE MINE.”
