I'M Not Afraid of Dogs

I'm not afraid of dogs Why, they're as harmless as frogs First they growl and bark at me Then they lift up their leg and pee One hound tried to act real tough By tugging hard at my pants cuff I cleared my throat with a giant roar Off the hound fled, on all fours Another mutt jumped up on me He thought himself quite scary I quickly choked him half to death He slunk away, out of breath Yet there was one time, I admit That a dog got to me a little bit This gorgeous female French poodle Perched on my lap and canoodled

Ha, ha! You're right about this having 'no bite,' Pete. That's what happens when I take out the hound's dentures, I guess... Tidings of Joy, Gershon
