WALKING MY DOG
(T. Beechey)
So I'm taking a stroll with this dog of mine
To the watering hole, but there's a sign
So I stop to read but I never knew
That he would need to read it, too
I read the sign
Most carefully
Line by line
And so did he
I asked him if
He understood
He gave a sniff
Which I guess was good
He wagged his tail which I took to mean
I needed no pail, the words he'd seen
But I wasn't sure so I asked again
The wagging endured so I relaxed then
We walked along
My dog and me
As I hummed a song
So filled with glee
On a lovely day
With a clear blue sky
Dog leading the way
...but my oh my!
My four-legged friend didn't learn to spell
And from his hind end there came this smell
And I realized he didn't know
Right before my eyes, he started to go!
I grabbed his leash
And pulled it tight
While thinking "Sheesh!
"They'll take us right
"Up to the jail
"Without a word
"Cause I did fail
"To scoop his turd!"
I yanked and tugged, he growled and barked
But I finally lugged him from that park
"Next time, please read the sign," I begged
That's when he peed all over my leg
