Don In the Doghouse

Don in the Doghouse

By Elton Camp

Don had a wife who was easily offended
If her wishes weren’t immediately tended

In the doghouse his time was mainly spent
Since out of shape his wife was often bent

Poor Don finally decided that he’d give in
And he built himself a doghouse in the den

He even bought a coat of white canine hair
To put on whenever he had to live in there

Bowls of dog food he decided that he’d eat
When it was his wife wasn’t acting sweet

Ultimately it became Don’s permanent bed
Because she came to detest everything he said
