The lines below are a result of an incident just witnessed in the street outside my flat. 

 

I've just been leaning out of my bathroom window

Taking a breath of much needed air

When a young woman with a dog paused below

Looking on as her mutt did its business there.

 

I watched, somehow knowing she wasn't prepared

To clean up when the doggy deed was complete

And sure enough, when done, she left it lying there

And hurried on her way up the dog soiled street

 

"Thanks very much", I called out in disgust.

She looked up as if to say "Do you mean me?"

Waving vaguely as if she was unable to act

Determined to ignore what we could both see......

 

Leaving behind the spread of brown mess

That was left by her pet who just did what dogs doo

For someone to slip on, get infected or hurt,

All because she had no mind to clear up its poo!!

 

But maybe,.,,just maybe...she might bring a bag

The next time she takes her pooch out for a stroll;

But then again, i doubt it;  it seems this dog-walker

Clearly has no care for that dog-owner's role.
