He Is Still Just a Dog

He Is Still Just a Dog

By Elton Camp

It’s obvious that you think your dog’s mighty fine
From the way you boast of his amazing bloodline
And with the American Kennel Club he is on the list
To show his registration papers you always insist

To ever so many dog shows you and Jacque will go
You think the judges will say that he’s best in show
Even if he should somehow manage to fool them 
I’ve seen too much to be overly impressed with him

For at the park I saw that Jacques was still inclined
Get a big whiff of the odor of another mutt’s behind
To think he’s special, you own self you are tricking
Because afterward I saw what it was he was licking

If he is so fancy, then you would surely want to think
That from the bathroom toilet he wouldn’t take a drink
Although you believe that your dog is so sophisticated,
To all of those lesser curs, his actions show he’s related
