Dog Poo Poetry Contest

Aspen held a Dog Poo Poetry Contest back in July to gain awareness of their - um, dog poop problem. Below is one of many submissions to the contest. It wasn't a winner.

Dear citizens of Aspen...please gather around

I offer some suggestions for your star-studded town

We heard up in Jackson, the town of old trappers

That doggies down there aren't using their crappers

The owners it seems let their dogs dump on grass

And are fastidious as they clean Spotty's shit dripping ass

But the soft mushy waste that was dropped from his rear

Is left undisturbed for reasons unclear

Despite laws that define this infraction

The citizens continue their shit leaving crap action

So may I suggest a plan from our place

Just pick up the stinky and toss it in the face

Of the owner of the dog that left the brown roll

And tell them that's how they do it in the Hole

You'll find it's effective although somewhat rude

But no shit will be left behind once it starts to extrude

- Author unknown, however my sister lives in Jackson Hole...

This reminds me,

Don't know what to do with all your plastic bags WITHOUT holes?

Bring them into the Elmbrook Humane Society. We use them and need them.
