Yakety Yak What Was That

You're scolding me, as if I care For tearing up another pair! But, "blah, blah, blah"..... is all that's clear It's miscommunication in first gear! Yakety Yak!! Don't you see that it's no use?? I'm just a mutt, (that's my excuse)... Those scalding words you shout to me? For floppy ears? ...... Eluding me! All I hear is "Yakety yak"!!! What's with that?? You get upset when I bark loud Or when I jump into the crowd That time I chewed newspapers on the floor Or when I jumped through the screen door Yakety Yak!!! You chased me once with that straw broom Just because I wee-weed in the room You keep on shouting this and that But to me it's only "Yakety-yak"!! What was that???!!!!!! ___________________________________________________ For Tanya Harrigton's Contest "Dog Gone Tales" 8/6/10

Really funny, Carrie! Dogs probably would like to talk back. Maybe it would be fun to spend a day as a dog and try to interpret what human's are saying. The cats I had responded more to the emotion in my voice than my words, but they did come running when I called their names. Best wishes in the contest! Love, Carolyn
