Poems and Inspirations

This is a poem that we like This was posted on another board. It was written by a woman named Angie who works in a shelter here in Ontario. Very sad poem, but very powerful. 

      I killed Another Pit Bull Today

I killed Another Pit Bull Today Another day, another damn dollar I shake my head, and hand back the collar. I killed another pit bull today What do you people want me to say? Believe I heard this story before Starts with cute little puppy, say no more, Then that puppy grew up quick This story is starting to make me sick. It?s easy for you to walk through my door But my head hurts and my heart is sore So I killed another Pit Bull today People, I don?t know what to say Dogs at large and people don?t care, Back yard breeders, responsible owner is rare Did not know if my dog should see a vet Not spayed or vaccinated either I bet My shelter door is a revolving one Everyday when I think I am done Another Pit Bull Dies that day Please don?t ask, I don?t know what to say In the truck just driving around Barking dogs is a pleasant sound Pit Bull no muzzle, Breed ban in This dog will die, what a Sin. You call me a killer, a murderer right You? Are the irresponsible owner in my sight So I killed another Pit bull today And through my tears, I can not say I got this job so I could care For the unwanted animals, how is this fair? Irresponsible owner makes me clean up their mess My emotions are drained and I need some rest My future is not looking too bright Tomorrow things might look better in different light But for now I will kill another Pit bull today But you did this; not me is all I can say.

 

                                    *The Pit Bull*

   You think she's mean and angry.But she's really kind and keen. 

   She looks very tuff,  But she's really full of fluff.

   She eats a lot of treats. But she's really kind of neat. 

   She is a big dog, But she's really not a hog.

    She takes up your bed, And that's all i should have said.

  *My Pit bull Ate My Homework*    

      I'm really really glad , To say 
     My Homework is done,   I Finished it last night , its not a 
     pretty sight.  My pit bulls chewed up  my homework 
     They drooled on it   too, I have it in this 
     litter box . I'm going to dump it on your desk 
     because i want a  A+ from you
