It seems to be the liberal, socialist, progressive, Democrat…whatever the appellation of the moment… working in their always-vegetated state into some silly project or cause for society - no matter, the lunatic levers needed to execute said project. For this article let’s settle on “Liberal/Karens” as the objects of deserved ridicule. If you have a dog, and you don’t live in the country (where sanity still reigns somewhat) it is a necessity (and a pleasure) to walk them from time to time. But the Liberal/Karens de rigueur movement of the last few years is to carry little plastic poop bags and gather up “Fido’s” former meal and remove it from the ground (Hmmm, I thought they wanted the earth to be greener—guess not). And in typical Liberal/Karen fashion, the process is now almost a religion, with the priestesses, Mother- Liberal/Karens out and about to be the poop police. Recently, I was walking my good friend Hank, who enjoys a good walk and a happy-go-lucky poop, 2 or 3 times a day when he stopped to make a happy pile. I hadn't noticed until I heard a lady from across the street, her own pooch-on-leash, in tow, holler "DO YOU NEED A BAG?" To this query, she waved one of those little plastic zip-lock baggies above her head. I supposed she had been watching me to see if I was loaded with a baggie supply. I carry neither zip-locks nor masks. But to be polite I answered her: “NO.” This, of course, brought us into distant, albeit polite, conversation (hollering across the cul de sac). She: “DON’T YOU WANT TO PICK UP YOUR DOG’S POOP?” Me: “NO. I HAVE NO USE FOR IT. YOU MAY HAVE IT.” She: Nothing clearly audible to my old ears, but it sounded in the nature of “Hrrrump,#$%^&.” Her dog continued walking her. And I continued walking Hank. We remained on opposite sides of the street, I have tried to imagine what these people do with their dogs in their own yards. Do they go outside and pick the poop up? This is somewhat how the liberal mental machinations work, I suppose. One teaches his (I don't do the "he/she" nonsense) dog to poop outside—called being housebroken—but then when the pooch poops outside, the owner must go outside, pick it up and bring it inside, I suppose. Inside, of course, is where it (the poop) was not wanted in the first place. But, Liberal/Karens? Go figure. Why not just try and potty train Pooch instead of house-breaking Pooch? Again, liberals/Karens—go figure. I can see the reasoning of poop scoopers in concrete meccas like New York City or Washington, D. C. (D.C. is full of s***!). Even down in Houston, we clean up after the greatest show on earth, The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Certainly, New York's sidewalks should get a poop-scoop when necessary. After all, a shoeshine still costs something to a non-dog owner. D.C.? Who knows? Who cares? Again, they are full of s***! I have been on many Texas cattle ranches and have yet to see a cowhand picking up cow patties and putting them in plastic bags. But this craziness of a ritualistic dung dance around their canine cupids with plastic bags stinks (pardon the pun-ish treatment). Do these people have any idea how many pounds of crap are dumped during any 24 hours in their yards or onto the easement in front of it? I doubt there are EPA numbers on the subject (bureaucrats are not agrarian bent). Among God’s enumerable creatures you can be sure that during the course of 24/7, a wonderous number of possums, coons, coyotes, feral cats, armadillos, squirrels, not to mention the hundreds and hundreds of birds that bomb the place, routinely, leave their happy piles for your yard. And pounds and pounds of it. This is really part of a green new deal. A recent posting (by me) on FB:
So, as far as your pooch is concerned, take that plastic bag and stick it in that place where face masks should be—where the sun don’t shine.
After all, Liberals/Karens hate sunshine. Cloudy days are their metier. Say goodbye, Hank. Bow Wow.

“NO. I HAVE NO USE FOR IT. YOU MAY HAVE IT.” Good one, Mr. Yarbrough.

I don't know. He was named when I took him in. A friend of a friend in Dallas asked me if I could take him and I did. Sheltie. Smartest dang dog I ever had. Smarter than me for sure!

Thanks for sharing your poetry, Mr. Yarbrough. It sure sounded like you wrote about me and my yellow lab. It's heartbreaking that Hank left too soon.
