My British Bull dog doesn’t bark

He greets me with a “moo”

For he learned a second language

At the local petting zoo

Lazy Dogs March 7, 2008

The dog is such a lazy beast
he can’t be bothered in the least
with washing cars
or cooking food
and tending bars
or chopping wood
he simply shirks
all kinds of work
they say he is a man’s best friend
but men do toil until their end
and dogs don’t care to lend a hand
they do not seem to understand
that friendship is reciprocal
they beg but do not help at all
On reflection
 My darling wife does now insist
that I retract and do desist
defaming those of canine bent
so now it seems I must repent
and compensate my doggy friends
perhaps some bones will make amends?
