a stray dog lapped some wet cement,
then off to the park he went,
and went and went...
and later in the glint of moon so bright,
a man and his lady ignored the hints
and dared off, took in the sights;
strolling...his eyes adored the night
and his lady in the soft shimmered light
Do you speak Yemish? he asked with a grin
she blushed... said "yeth", and wiped her chin...
happy pair, until his foot came down
with a splash, and would not come up...
the ground had been covered
by the naughty pup
and his lady leaned back in fright...
her beau stuck to ground in pitch of night...
and a lesson they'd learn,
romance can be so hard to earn...
after the moon is high in the sky...
and the dog has gone, cement not quite dry...
So here is my advice, not once but twice
don't wander in parks in dark; while so nice
when the moon is full and the stray dog bays
for he is empty... and the shoes will stay...

Yeth... [pronounced yeee-ee'-eth'-th] Definition: - Yes i do and i am charmed you decided to ask, after so long ..so many years when no one has asked...and I began to believe the language was dead...like Greek or latin, but then this night came and finally..all those years of training and preparatory school...at last..."

I don't know which is funnier, the poem or your author notes. I almost choked at the 'Do you speak Yemish' and almost drooled (because am eating chocolate right now) like the lady when saying the word Yeth - she wiped her chin, I supposed she drooled
This is a very silly poem and the thoughts so amusing. You should enjoy more silly contests as this one, for you do have a good sense of humour!!!

So that is the definition of "yeth." Man if I have to wait to hear the word spoken I'm in even more desperate straits than I thought! lol
"Don't go where they stray dogs go
and don't you step in the yellow snow"
Frank Zappa would be so proud of me. Youngsters reading this comment will wonder what I am smoking, using strange names they have never heard of, lol.
Pixiestix suggested we should conquer the world (since she is a strange bird like me, lol) It begins with AllPoetry...soon everyone will speak Yemish...5:45 a.m. My funny bone is still asleep (that is my story, and I ain't uh changin' it!
Thanks PK...here are some applications, pass them out to single ladies you meet, preferably rich ones.

Oh, this was a treasure! Just hilarious. And to think...the ol' pup is back at home some where, curled up asleep... not a care in the world, oblivious to the romance that he has just doused. Such a shame.
Veritable advice indeed, PK! Weighty even.
And I loved the Author's Note
