| What do you think of my poem... (no it's not in the wrong category)... ? BSL (acrosstic poem): Bully breeds are discriminated againstRealistically, BSL does nothingEducation is the key to stopping dog bitesEveryone should be taught how to act around dogsDog ownership is a privelige, not a rightSome people misidentify breeds anywayPit Bulls are targeted - Staffies next?Every dog deserves a chanceChildren and dogs should always be supervised togetherIndividually, and as a community, let's stop BSLFew breeds are really safe from BSLIsn't it the owner's responsibility, not the dog's fault?Countless dogs have been killed - and some never did anythingLists of 'dangerous' dogs are growingExperts argue that BSL is uselessGovernments insist on banning breedsIrresponsible owners are to blameStatistics can be misleadingLet's try methods that workAny dog *can* bite, but not all *will*Temperament tests are for individuals, not breedsInformation is sometimes faultyOver-the-top reactions fuel fearNot even helpingshelter puppies rule - good idea, I might work on one like that. = )On a lighter note, here's a happier poem I wrote:'Who Can Resist a Golden Retriever?'Who among us can resistThat so-called Golden smile?Who can resist those wide brown eyes, Even for a while?Who here can really resistThat gaily wagging tail?Who can resist those muddy pawprintsOf a Golden destruction trail?Who can ever resistA tennis ball dropped at their feet?Who can resist a slobbery kissFrom a Golden when you meet?Who can actually resistThat certain Golden charm?Who does not love Goldens, Whether in a city or a farm? |
