Hello ... Grooming Shop?

Hello … Groom Shop? I have this dear dog that’s as sweet as can be

as soon as you see her I know you'll agree

If it is alright, I will be in about eight

If I'm not there at nine, it means I'll be late.

Sweetie doesn't bite often, she knows it's not nice

just nips little children, and me once or twice.

She doesn't like cages, can't stand other pets

and if she's upset, she just simply wets.

You may bathe her fur, but don't let it soak in

I prefer that the water does not touch her skin

She has a bad back and can't sit or stand

so have her lay down while you empty her gland.

She's allergic to powders and dips make her sneeze

so please use the tweezers to pick out her fleas.

She loathes being brushed and watch how you clip

she has ten thousand matts, but I don't want a strip

There's a few more instructions, so here is a list

ignore that huge lump, it is only a cyst.

Leave her back long to hide her bad hip

a french moustache to cover the wart on her lip

She laid down in something thats black and quite gummy

but she always gets cold, so don't shave her tummy.

Poodle feet, poodle tail, of course, thats the style

Don't clip her nails, please use a file.

A very high top knot perfectly round

so what if there's little hair to be found.

I'm sure with your talent, if you just use your noodle

you can make my Chihuahua look just like a poodle.

There's a few other things you really should know

she wants some perfume and a polka dot bow.

I'll be there to get her, I can't say just when

but just in case, have her ready by ten.
