inspired by a photo of a dog wearing an alligator costume

They saw me in the pet store window They looked friendly enough I wiggled and waggled and showed them my stuff Let’s get that puppy! The man said I wanted a different kind said the wife The husband looked sad. Okay, she agreed. I walked into their home behind them An older dog was there dressed as a chicken Another dog was wearing an alligator costume Run! Said one Be afraid, very afraid, said the other.
