A DOG POEM
Why own a dog?
There's a danger
you know,
You can't own just
one, for the craving
will grow.
There's no doubt
they're addictive,
wherein lies
the danger,
While living with
lots, you'll grow
poorer and stranger.
One dog is no trouble
and two are so funny,
The third one is
easy, the fourth
one's a honey.
The fifth one is
delightful, the sixth
one's a breeze,
You find you can
live with a household
with ease.
So how 'bout another?
Would you really dare?
They're really quite
easy but oh Lord the hair!
With dogs on the sofa
and dogs on the bed,
And crates in the
kitchen, it's no
bother you said.
They're really no
trouble, their manners
are great,
What's one more
dog and just one
more crate?
The sofa is hairy,
the windows are crusty,
The floor is all
footprints, the
furniture all dusty.
The housekeeper suffers,
but what do you care?
Who minds a few nose
prints and a little
more hair.
So let's keep a
puppy, you can always
find room,
And a little more
time for the dust
cloth and broom.
There's hardly a
limit to the dogs
you can add,
The thought of a
cutback sure makes
you sad.
Each one is so
special, so useful,
so funny,
The vet and the
food bill grows
larger, you owe money.
Your folks never visit,
few friends come to
stay,
Except other dog
folks, who live the
same way.
Your lawn has now
died, and your shrubs
are dead too,
But your weekends
are busy, your off
with your crew.
There's dog food and
vitamins, training
and shots,
And entries and
travel and motels
which cost lots.
Is it worth it, you
wonder? Are you caught
in a trap?
Then that favorite
dog comes and climbs
in your lap.
His look says you're
special and you know
that you will,
Keep all of the
critters in spite of
the bill.
But winter's a
hassle, the dogs
hate it too,
But they must have
their walks though
they're numb and
you're blue.
Late evening is
awful, you scream
and you shout
At the dogs on the
sofa that refuse
to go out.
The dogs and the
dog show, the travel,
the thrills,
The work and the
worry, the pressure,
the bills.
The whole thing
seems worth it,
the dogs are our
life
They're charming and
funny and offset
the strife.
Your lifestyle has
changed - things
won't be the same.
Yes, those dogs
are addictive and
so is the game!
