Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

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
