A Busy Dachshund Puppy
She
leaves you a gift on the kitchen floor
And
another on the living-room rug
And
barfs up half a frog just inside the door
And
barfs again – a poorly-digested bug
She
bites into cranky old Pepper-Cat’s tail
(Something
so twitchy must surely taste good)
And
Pepper-Cat spanks her; oh, what a wail!
(Dear
pup, there’s a difference between could and should)
And
in the evening, while you doze over a book
She
rests upon your heart, and gives you that look
And
her big eyes ask,
Am I your very
good dog?
Oh,
yes
