Canine Guilt

My Shar-pei's eyes are watching me With a look of pure disdain I know she's keeping tabs on me I wish I could explain Don't judge me. my ole canine friend My life's a tad bit hectic. To walk you now would aggravate My ulcer's turning peptic I hide your leash, avoid the door But still I see you peering My eyes implore,"Please understand" But yet I see you leering! Oh to be judged by fur and snout Is a fate I do not relish By choosing not to take you out My future could be hellish! If I were to be judged right now By a jury of my peers I'd lose the case, take the fall To a pair of floppy ears So, "Come on girl. Let's go out" I'll open up the gate Take me to the nearest tree My schedule can wait
