The Dog Lovers

So they bought you

And kept you in a

Very good home

Central heating

TV

A deep freeze

A very good home-

No one to take you

For that lovely long run-

But otherwise

'A very good home'

They fed you Pal and Chum

But not that lovely long run,

Until, mad with energy and boredom

You escaped- and ran and ran and ran

Under a car.

Today they will cry for you-

Tomorrow they will buy another dog.
