When your pooch makes a deposit, will you be there? With spade, Glad bag, & curled hair?

Will you shovel the potatoes, leaving loose gravy outside your bag?

For pedestrians to slip on like wounded stag?

A Tourist slipped on Washington Street, their shirt torn with poop and bloodied elbow meat.

The thrift store gave him a gorgeous maddress shirt, hence the tourist's slip & fall trauma became inert.

In Marblehead spirit, I guided him to Maddie's for fish & chips & Dice K

Who for 8 innings menageried Baltimore Orioles at bay

Aided by a fisherman named Varitek seine netting Dice K pitches

A cutter without sails between zero-gravity off speed junk,

Influenced by Asian sail boats on Tokyo Harbor floats

Dog walkers making potato & gravy deposits outside North Shore banks,

Permanently pressed like Hillary Swank.

Clean up the gravy when your poochie is sick

To preserve class and safety on our Oceanside wicks.
