Little Jolly Roger Dog...
I am my mums'
little jolly roger dog,
have 4 legs ones' broke,
I often forget the pain I'm in
off on a tandem I'll go
I have good days
when I feel gay
run and fro lick
like I used to play
my mum has me on medication,
had to date two operations,
But what am I to do?
mum has short end all my walks
to limit strain, and ongoing pain
on short walks now, we see the locals,
exchange our how you dos'
other exciting things include
sniffs and smells I stop to do
doggy dos,
limitations now run rife,
the cookie jar is my daily highlight,
the vet has done all he could,
except for a leg made of wood,
I'm on new medication
natural muscle replacement
if I could get this leg stronger
I could go on walks longer
eight years ago I adopted mum
she liked me from the start,
she like the way I stuck up for myself
she knew that I had spark,
an SPCA puppy, dumped in a sack
there I was left for dead
my life hanging by a thread
I am a cross bred moggy
my mum is my best friend
I'll love and protect her
loyally til the very end
I'll always be at her side
her hairy handsome boy
even without all my legs
my loyalty for her
no one can destroy
Life is not too boring, but now a little slow
I don't feel crippled, sometimes, miserable
I definitely don't feel baron,
as long as I have my master
my mum, my best friend, my sharon
