My Dog Is a Scientist

My dog is a scientist And thought I never see I think he has a lab set up Right underneath me I sometimes see him reading The paper on the floor Mums says it’s all in my head But I never can ignore At night I hear noises And see lights from below He’s making something special I really want to know Then one day I heard a noise Coming from outside It was giant space ship And my dog was there inside He didn’t see me watching But I don’t think that he thought That anyone was watching Or that he would get caught The next morning I woke up Lying in my bed Had I been dreaming Was it all in my head? And then I saw the clue That would give him away His reading glasses on his head As he slept that day I gently woke him up And showed the glasses there He looked a little startled I told him I didn’t care He told me all dogs are scientists And live on earth in disguise And work on secret projects As dogs are very wise So next time look at your dog Take a closer look For it probably is a scientist Reading that mechanical book!
