Stepping in It

When growing up, I had a dog 

And when he had to go,

He did his business in the street;

A leash tug let him know.


We didn’t have a pooper-scoop,

But we’d prevent a squat

On sidewalks where pedestrians

Might cross that very spot.


Yet nowadays, the owners let

Their dogs go where they please

And even if they clean it up,

It doesn’t quite appease.


Just yesterday, I took a step

And - take a random guess -

My sneaker sole with lots of tread

Became a stinking mess.


It took a while to get it clean 

And here I will admit

That, in my mind, that owner is

A selfish piece of *%#+!
