A Dog Day Afternoon

If you really love some-one Then it shouldn't be so hard You just put him on an leash And simply walk him Across the yard, The heck with all the implication's What are the chances' They would reject him right away Fore it takes' raw courage To bring them home one day A family bond is strong that way - And - To meet the family right away The re concussion can be great Though it take's much skill To articulate Or may be, It could be just a big mistake - Then if it is a dog Then they barely know him As you see, what come what may be - Sure they may know of his nature Maybe just a couple of fleas' But, what then can they really say Fore he is the lesser of God's creatures' And you have already given Him a name, And most of all, He is yours', - He is your's to claim Some how or another Surely, he should be easier To tame, A dog will all ways' have his day In a manner of speaking You just have to keep him eating And not let him run astray And he surely will be worth keeping Every dog shall have his way But people are so much harder To display GF
