A squishy mound, an unwelcome surprise,
The sidewalk now adorned, to the passerby’s eyes.
A puzzle unsolved, a mystery untold,
Whose furry companion left this gift bold?

Was it Rover, with his wagging tail,
Or Fido, whose antics often set sail?
A canine culprit, leaving clues in the dew,
A silent witness to the deed that once grew.

But in this tale of canine waste,
There’s a question lingering, a bit misplaced.
As the sidewalk witnesses this canine goal,
One must ponder, “Am I the asshole?”

For judgment cast upon this scene,
Isn’t just about where the droppings have been.
Reflect upon actions, consider the role,
In this urban ballet, does one play the troll?

So, in the end, as the story’s thread unfolds,
Remember the lesson that this short tale holds.
In the realm of sidewalks and doggie doo,
Ask yourself this question: “Am I the asshole too?”

> write a short poem about dog poo, and end asking ‘am i the asshole’?

I have never seen so much poop. I’ve noticed it across the city: so many giant turds, poop trails and sidewalk spanning splats that I’m lowkey concerned. Are the dogs okay? Is there a dog stomach virus going around? Or a shortage of poop bags?

I’m used the army of frozen turds resurfacing after winter’s final melt, but we haven’t even had a real snow yet so these are all recent. And impressively gross.

I hope your dog is okay. And that you pick up their poop.

Are the dogs okay?
