Jake

Now I know you've heard the stories

About animals who are smart

But here's a tale of a dog named Jake

Who was a genius from the start

Now, this dog could do anything

He could even add and subtract

He even starred in a broadway play

And, man, that dog could act

Now, nobody ever had to feed him

For, he was even a gourmet chef

Did I mention he was a teacher?

He taught sign language to the deaf

Now Jake was not an ordinary dog

He remembers everything he sees

He also has a photographic memory

And even knows the names of his fleas

He wouldn't just bring your slippers

He would put them on your feet

That dog would even remember to flush

And put down the toilet seat

Jake even took the children to school

And stayed with them, all day long

He heard every word the teacher said

And corrected her when she was wrong

Now, you probably think I made this up

And, everything I've told you is fake

But I'll bet you'll be surprised to know

That this poem was written by Jake

While judging the contest, the website didn't let me see the names of contestants. So now that the contest is over, I rushed over here to see who wrote it. Unbelievable! Only 3 reviews? This poem would've won first place if it fell more precisely under the category I was looking for. This is an excellent poem!
