Its My Couch

I pissed my dog off today He wouldn't listen to what I had to say He didn't have to be such a grouch I just wanted him off my couch Why is he so mad, I didn't even holler I just pulled on his collar He was being such a jerk and wanted to fight Snarled and growled and gave me a bite We had one hell of a brawl Across the floor and half way up the wall I don't think I can take it anymore He's on my couch while I'm sleeping on the floor!

Adorable poem, Timothy. Totally charming ~ last line - small suggestion to replace 'and' with 'while'.

Hello Timothy ... once a dog comes indoors, the house becomes a kennel and you drop in the pecking order. Best of luck Timothy - Lindsay

I have the same problem with my cat sometimes, but she usually gives in and shares "her spot" with me ... Keep up the good writing, Timothy. I enjoyed reading your work this afternoon!
