Very good and very original poem; first time I’d read it. Who wrote it?
I don’t know, its been around a long time.
Breaking News .....Move over Weight Watchers, there is a new way to lose weight...It’s the “I can’t afford to buy groceries to feed myself because I just filled my gas tank” diet.
To my fellow “Old Dogs”
One day the old German Shepherd starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he’s lost. Wandering about, he notices a panther heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.
The old German Shepherd thinks, ‘Oh, oh! I’m in deep doo-doo now!’ Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the panther is about to leap, the old German Shepherd exclaims loudly, ‘Boy, that was one delicious panther! I wonder, if there are any more around here?’
Hearing this, the young panther halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees.. ‘Whew!’ says the panther, ‘That was close! That old German Shepherd nearly had me!’
Meanwhile, a squirrel who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the panther. So, off he goes, but the old German Shepherd sees him heading after the panther with great speed, and figures that something must be up.
The squirrel soon catches up with the panther, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the panther.
The young panther is furious at being made a fool of and says, ‘Here, squirrel, hop on my back and see what’s going to happen to that conniving canine!
Now, the old German Shepherd sees the panther coming with the squirrel on his back and thinks, ‘What am I going to do now?’, but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn’t seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old German Shepherd says…
‘Where’s that squirrel? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another panther!
Moral of this story…
Don’t mess with the old dogs… age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery!
BS and brilliance only come with age and experience.
Thank you, Billie!!!
That was great! Thanks!
Yes, it IS a fun song! There are so many - and I could listen to them all day!
A man was on a walking holiday in Ireland.
He became thirsty so decided to ask at a home for something to drink. The lady of the house invited him in and served him a bowl of soup by the fire.
There was a wee pig running around the kitchen, running up to the visitor and giving him a great deal of attention. The visitor commented that he had never seen a pig this friendly.
The housewife replied: "Ah, he's not that friendly. That's his bowl you're using."
I like to bring the hot dog buns, and the pickles, cheese and meat mixture (and my big electric platter skillet, when I go to a friend’s for a pot luck evening). They always LOVE to smell it cooking, and there is no mess left, but to wipe down the skillet.
Of course they are stuck with the baked beans, potato salad, cole slaw, fresh veggie and dip plate, corn on the cob and desert.
The guys could probably stuff a whole ‘slider’ in their mouth, when they get their plate, but their wives give them that ‘you’d better NOT’ look. LOL
Do you like to cook, Billie?
MMMMMMmmmmmm, I can SMELL it all the way to Arizona! I tried to find a private jet to fly me there, to join you.....but they are selfish about the charges. No senior discounts, and no coupons. LOL!
Hope you enjoyed your dinner, JC!
