DOG DAYS
Woof! My tail wagged, Glad you’re back (Hope I’m not in for a smack) And you have been out all day, Well, I got bored — I need to play. So I had a good old run around, I searched the wardrobe, then I found Some fluffy slippers which I chewed And — I don’t want to be too rude — But hiding underneath the bed Some private things — best left unsaid. Then I peed — but on the mat — And in the bathroom, how good is that? Next, I clawed the new lounge suite, Look at those claw marks: very neat! The postman came and through the door Some tasty letters, which I tore, But you always moan about junk mail, No need to shred them, I never fail. Then romping round, as you can see, I caught the wire on the TV And then it fell down on the floor You’re looking cross, which I’ll ignore. But, good job I’m not a Great Dane, You’d need the builders here again! It’s obvious we’ve got to talk, In the meantime, can we go for a walk?
