Face Up

I can no longer skip and jump, Which makes me sad and blue It also gives me the hump When I look at you, Vivacious, full of energy Healthy and robust too My, get up and go Has got up and gone, Left and ran away. It is only proper Every dog has its day. So slow down, little puppy, I can't keep up the pace, It would cause embarrassment, If I fell on my face.
