All True Honest

I took my fish for a walk
Then suddenly it just died.
I always tell the truth you see,
I'm sorry if I lied.
I got a dog to replace the fish,
We both sat down and cried,
When the cat,ate the fish
With chips on the side.
Off I went to the butcher's shop
To get my dog a bone,
When I got back,he was sat on my chair,
Playing on his phone.
Then the cat came through the flap,
The dog was like a rocket.
He just had time to Don his coat,
And put his phone back in his pocket.
