April 11

Leaving the house requires the shrewdness of a shrew

Between myself and the gate lies a minefield of poo

It is Alba the guard dog's defensive work of art

I've only had one slip-up, and from that I can take heart

The trouble is the stench you see it's really rather bleak

It does however aid in navigation from the street

You would giggle if you saw me, leaping toe to toe

The defence is always shifting - it's something of a lotto
