A shaggy, black and white dog on a green lawn

A shaggy dog
So full of fur
Is bound to cause
A massive stir
As they trot
Within the ring
With a shaggy
Mop-like swing
Taunting all
The other dogs
Who got featured
On the blogs
And never knew
How it felt
To win a prize
Or mat a pelt
For they all
Had groomers who
Shaved them down
When their hair grew
But shaggy dog
Has no such plan
His hair is wild
And there’s no man
Who could clip
His mass of fur
And the judges
All concur
That when shaggy
Does appear
In the best show
Of the year
After winning
A small contest
Declaring shaggy
Was the best
The judges gave
This shaggy boy
Who wagged his tail
And barked in joy
A score that left
Others in awe
For in conclusion
They all said “naw.”
