Let's End This Excessive Devotion To Dogs
Let’s End This Excessive Devotion to Dogs
By Elton Camp
Owning some dogs can be okay,
But it’s “fur children,” some say
If a dog you think is your child,
Then rightly you will be reviled
Over your home you have the say
Sensible folks can just stay away
It’s up to you if it does please
To live in horrid stench and fleas
To the odor, your nose is numb
But others smell it if they come
You accept dog hair everywhere
On clothes, it’s welcome there
It’s all right if you live that way
At your house the dog should stay
Come to visit, your beast in tow
To answer the door, I will not go
Then there’s savage dog attack
Good sense the owners lack
“He’s never bitten anyone before”
It’s a lie we hear more and more
Brutus is vicious as he can be
It’s obvious for everyone to see
The dog should be killed without fail
And his owner then sentenced to jail
But realize that dogs I don’t hate
It’s the fanatical owners I berate
A dog is just fine in its place
But how some do is a disgrace
