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
