Don In the Doghouse

Don in the Doghouse By Elton Camp Don had a wife who was easily offended If her wishes weren’t immediately tended In the doghouse his time was mainly spent Since out of shape his wife was often bent Poor Don finally decided that he’d give in And he built himself a doghouse in the den He even bought a coat of white canine hair To put on whenever he had to live in there Bowls of dog food he decided that he’d eat When it was his wife wasn’t acting sweet Ultimately it became Don’s permanent bed Because she came to detest everything he said
