A show to remember

I'm sitting at the ringside at a championship show

So who is in the line-up? Let's look along the row and see ...

 

There's Mrs. "I've won everything" who always heads the line,

She's got her smartest suit on and the dog is looking fine.

She knows her "fave" all rounder is judging in the group,

But it would take a Best in Show win to make her cock-a-hoop.

 

Now Mr. "Got it in the bag" sports a conceited grin.

He only has to turn up to guarantee this win.

He knows his dog's by far the best the judge has told him so,

And what's more he believes it and let's everybody know.

 Mrs. "Ever Hopeful" is looking very pleased,

It's her first time in the last six at a big show such as this.

She's had a photo taken to remind her of this day,

The dog is looking cheerful too. "Choose me" he seems to say.

 

Mrs. "My Best Friend's The Judge" thinks she must have a chance,

For she plied the judge with whiskey at the club's last dinner dance.

And little evening soirees have been held to tempt her prey.

Where it's said she's on occasions had her assets on display.

 

Mr. "I Could Do Far Better" gave the judge an icy stare,

He knows he'd do a better job if he were standing there.

Apart from mine, he thinks, this line-up is a motley crew.

Without a doubt the judge must have an eye test overdue.

 

And Mr. "It's My First Time" is there waving to a friend,

He wonders why this extra class has been stuck on at the end.

But someone had just told him if his dog will stand and show,

He may just get a "ticket", ... but to where he does not know.

 

So who emerged the winner? Well I'll leave that up to you,

But Mr. "Got It In The Bag" his top he nearly blew.

Mr. "I Could Do Far Better" has a face not to be missed

Mrs. "My Best Friend's The Judge" has revised her Christmas list.

 

Yet I'm sure that all those present would be certain to agree

That Dog showing's "just the ticket"

But in which sense? Don't ask me!
