Toka has discovered bitches in season: This weekend, the poor boy lost all his reason
Mighty sniffing he did, but not for the rats
Sadly he earned the blue ribbon for brats
Four trials we entered and in all we did fail
Simply because he is a teenaged male
The ladies he thought of with joy and with glee
Leaving his handler wanting to flee
He lifted his leg, a bale he did mark
“Toka!” I said “This is NOT a lark!”
Yet another training challenge I face
I fear he’ll learn this at a very slow pace
Ignore those girls Toka, that’s the way
If you work with me, a jackpot I’ll pay!
