Dog
Dog
I once had a fluffy white dog take my hand
He was born a Maltese and was very well cared for
He was my every world, my one and only, all over this land
When I’d come home he would greet me at the door
The exchanges of happiness would touch my heart
He would twirl and dance at my feet, nipping at my dress
Meanwhile, my couched husband is doing his part
Watching his sports, drinking beers, and being a mess
My little one would follow me to the end of the Earth
He would follow me all over the house as he loves me
The times I do take him for a walk, I have self-worth
Everything about him is real and loyal, I love to see
Many a candlelight dinners it would be just me and him
He would get his bowl of treats and there be a bone
Together our eyes dance, and I'd hear his imaginary voice hymn
Without his companionship, I would be so alone
Meanwhile, my husband is doing his part nipping at his beers
You would think that my little one acts the part of a spouse
At night he would jump onto my bed, cuddling my tears
The man that I married, sigh, is forever in the doghouse
