Outrage Over Dog's Destruction

By Elton Camp Dog lovers are in an uproar Won’t tolerate it anymore A precious dog has been killed Their loving hearts are chilled Its life was very important, they say It shouldn’t have been done that way Though the chance had been detected With Ebola virus it might be infected They say, with a hypocritical smile “Just quarantine the dog for a while.” “If it sickens please wait and see. If not, set the noble creature free.” Never mind the enormous cost Or that human lives could be lost Others, they want that chance to take But not them, for goodness sake! Folks that crazy in the head Should let it sleep on their bed They won’t, out a rightful fear Yet, whining we still will hear
