Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Pill Drill

My boxer, Butch, needed to take
A pill that the vet had prescribed.
I knew there was no way to make
Butch either be tricked or be bribed.
An honest face to face seemed best.
Taking a hollow tube, I set
The pill inside of it to rest.
Kneeling down in front of my pet,
Into his mouth, I put one end
Of the tube. The other end pursed
Between my lips. My puff would send
The pill down his throat. Butch blew first.

The pill that I swallowed confirmed,
Butch had helped me get dewormed.
