Don't Blame Me
I am but a small rabbit in your garden,
and I admit it is true,
I am the one who ate your carrots,
but don't blame me for the berries gone
from your bushes, that was a deer.
I am a deer in your garden,
and I admit it is true,
I am the one who ate your berries from bushes,
I will take the blame for that
but I refuse to feel guilt for the carrots
that the rabbit ate.
I am your pet cat,
and I admit it is true,
I did drag the mouse inside the house,
because I wanted a toy to play with.
Don't blame however for those missing berries,
because that mouse was the only thing on my mind.
I am your pet dog,
and it is my job you see,
to protect your family.
I had to bark at the rabbit who was eating your carrots,
and I had to bark at the deer who was eating your berries,
and don't even get me started on the cat chasing the mouse,
but don't blame me at all for any thing they have done,
all I did was tell you that something wasn't right,
after all its my job to protect you.
