Do the Doody

I always clean up after Lucky, I can't imagine not! It takes a confident person to walk the neighborhood with a bag of crap in your hand. It takes a selfish person to leave it on the ground. For more information on how to JOIN THE CYCLE visit Do the Doody.

Good for you - I stepped in dog droppings on the sidewalk in desert breeze park running with hen the other day. Needless to say it was digusting! Clean up People!

Poetry can be about anything....

Cleaning up after the Dog
by Jason Tandon

Pull plastic bag from pocket
and wave it like a flag
or diploma. Make sure many people
congratulate your care
for the community.
Check bag for holes.
Double check.
Inspect stool for odd hues.
Greens, blues, blood.
Evaluate consistency.
You don't want to leave smears
on the sidewalk or grass—no prints.
Getaway must be clean.
Prepare to go in for all of it.
Hold breath.
Grab, clamp, reverse bag, twist, knot, cinch.
Smell hands.
Hold loaded bag high in the air,
assure onlookers that Everything is Okay.
If a cop should cruise by,
his crew cut bristling
in the sun,
hold that bag higher,
so he, too, can salute
your contribution.
The bomb diffused,
the world a little safer, a little cleaner,
will not offend the deep treads
of someone's shoes.
