THE DOG SONG
Dogs
are gods heaven-sent to help us pull through
clods hell-bent on eats, treats, and shoes... to chew
Dogs
are nimble and dogs are quick, and
Dogs
will devour a candlestick
Dogs
will gobble it down lock stock and wick
then cough it back up in a conjuring trick
Thus testing your cynophilia to the limit
contesting the whole idea of interspecies kinship
Dogs
are soft and silky sweethearts
pure joie de vivre and electric guitars
Dogs
are wolves minus the smarts
and in Salt Lake City dogs chase parked cars
If I before I die a dog I do not acquire,
in the sweet bye and bye, it’s sadly I’ll expire
Strutting too long muttless my hour upon the stage
It’s sadly I’ll egress when I turn my last page
The husky is a god, heaven-sent to pull us through
The pug lives for eats, treats and shoes to chew
Web-pawed Labradors can paddle longer than Phelps
while a bulldog snores louder than a Dalmatian yelps
It’s acute OCD that ails the golden retriever
and a tossed tennis ball the only way to relieve her
The Great Pyrenees pin-up is pea-brain bimbo dim,
the Yorkshire a fussy pocket pup, the bull terrier a ghostly sin
With boxers’ lives so short, they’re allowed on the bed
where the heat rising from their brindle coats goes nicely to your head
The poodle’s a rat with ringlets getting by on prostitution
while no one can deny the basset hound’s comic constitution
And the Shakespeare of the houndsphere
is the master of the pasture bar none
With a lexis big as Texas, the Border Collie’s the bestest
the blue-eyed peak of canis evolution
And if I don’t acquire a damn dog before I die
it’s sadly I’ll expire in the sweet bye and bye
Yes, I’ve gone through life in a dogless haze
Sans canine wife to light up my days
Strutting muttless my hour upon the stage
It’s petless I’ll egress, riven by regrets, fretting dogless my very last page
