The lettuce needles were shining this morning
So I took my dog out for a shampoo
He sniffed the ponies and went for a swim
Dozens of barnacles floated and dove
Grabbing his legs threatening to pull him under
I threw my stick which he grabbed in mid air
Shaking head batting off barnacles
He was tired after that and jumped on a pony
Pulling in its reins, driving it to the hair parlor
Returning forlorn...out of favorite shampoo
Feeling rotten, he ate some crabgrass
Which cleaned his hair right quick
I grabbed his collar and stuck him with lettuce needles
He curled up beside me and fell fast asleep
The lettuce needles were shining this morning
