It Had To Be the Dog

It wasn't my fault the house burned down, When it started I was far, far from home How was I to know it would turn out like that? I was way down by the creek, writing a poem... I'm not to blame that the response was slow, That the road had been closed for repair.... If the firemen had come in quick time I wouldn't be crying, " NOT FAIR!" You have no proof I'm responsible, Just because I was there for a time.. It could have been the dog that did it, I swear I'm not responsible for this crime. I will show no remorse, at least not right now And I will continue to hotly deny I think living with Grandma will be cool.... Gee Dad, that's not a very nice reply....
