A Day In the Life of Lewis
Another tough day in the life
Of a dog like me can’t you see
My humans are ill-trained
So waking them requires several techniques
Laying on their heads to get them up
Or pulling the covers off works most days
Then I take them out for a walk
This is annoying as I often have to go pee
They eat more meals a day than I do
This requires me to monitor them while they dine
Looking up at these beings giving them the evil eye
Sometimes guilt’s them into sharing
Getting them to play is often a task
Pretending to be interested in playing ball tedious
When napping I often keep one eye open
This ensures they don’t leave without my knowing
Upon their returning to my home
That I let them share with me
I jump up and down trying to look enthusiastic
This makes them feel good, so I do it every time
Generally speaking I have trained these two well
Mostly they behave but every once I have to bark at them
I rescued this pair at a shelter
So I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into
