perfect poodles

Snobby, frivolous, obnoxious, kitschy, vain.
It’s enough to make a poodle melancholy.
Did you know we have the most amazing brain,
Second only to the border collie?
Even that should be reversed:
We can easily be first.

Fussy showy supermodels, pampered brats.
We should rise above the taunts but still they irk us.
Did you know that we are matchless acrobats,
Genius performers at the circus?
Seen a poodle ride a horse?
Zero effort tour de force.

Poodle history can fill a hefty tome.
Undeniable that we deserve a fandom.
Did you know we were on coins in ancient Rome?
They would not have chosen someone random.
Heard of us on battle flags?
No, a poodle never brags.

We were born to shine and steal the show.
We are truffle hunters, did you know?
We are actors, swimmers, trackers, herders.
Silly jibes are useless and won’t hurt us.
Chances to outshine us? Slim like noodles.
Clever, classy, dazzling, perfect poodles.
