Well, couldn't find on google, so.......This a poem that need to find the rest of. Veterans of vintage stag parties will remember this one.

"A dog will leave his bone
to go smell another dog's asshole
in hopes to find his own
something, something something
Every mothers son and sire
something something something
Up jumps some yellow son of a bitch
and hollers FIRE

Anyone out there recall this one? We would be the heroes of the ages to find this for elderly family member. Thank ya'll so much.

Got the first line!
"When they came in to the hall
they hung their buttholes on the wall
Surely someone recalls such a meaningful piece?!

Found the poem in "A Book of Vulgar Verse" by 'a gentleman about town' - Checker Books.
Attributed to the famous poet "anonymous." Please stand by.
Lin In Kansas is transcribing.

Gypsy--the wording's not exactly the same, but it sounds like this is the poem you're looking for.

Why Dogs Leave a Nice Fat Bone
By Anonymous
Source: A Book of Vulgar Verse, copyright 1981 and published by Checkerbooks Inc., Toronto, Canada, ISBN No.: 0-89009-411-X

The dogs once held a meeting
They came from near and far;
Some came in automobiles,
Some came in a car.

But before, inside the hall,
They were allowed to take a look,
They had to take their assholes off,
And hang them on a hook.

They all walked in, one by one,
Mother, son and sire,
But no sooner were they seated
That someone hollered, "Fire!"

Then they all rushed out in a bunch,
They had no time to look;
So each one grabbed an asshole
And ran it off the hook.

They got their assholes all mixed up,
It made them awfully sore.
To think they'd lost the asshole
They'd always worn before.

And that's the reason why
When you go down the street,
A dog will stop and swap a smell
With every dog he meets.

And that's the reason why
A dog will leave a nice fat bone,
To smell another's asshold,
In hopes to find his own.

We think we recall a slightly modified version in which the reason for hanging their assholes at the door was a sign that said "No Assholes Allowed," and a 'band of roving cats' were blamed for shouting "FIRE."

A quick look at our index of tunes, songs, poetry and trivia has not found any alternates.
