A Dog On the Bed

A Dog On the Bed By Elton Camp Kevin was inordinately fond of his hound So it was in his bed the canine was found Even after Kevin got married Still in the bed the dog tarried His wife said, “I’m tired of odor and fleas. Get that dirty mutt off of our bed, please!” So Kevin reluctantly told his wife okay But the dog continued sleeping that way She spit out, “He’s more important than me. So it’s in the guest bedroom that I’ll be.” “You can come a visit me there, But don’t bring that bag of hair!” Because the dog scratched with his feet Kevin’s surrender of the bed was complete To the dog alone the bed was kept It was on the floor that Kevin slept His wife ran away with his college friend Such devotion to a dog his marriage did end
