My Dog Ate My Homework

My dog ate my homework He doesn't know what he's done He's forced me to defend myself with what is essentially a pun I asked him why'd he do it He started licking his butt It angered me more this non-explanation for my rut I yelled at him fiercely coupled with a mean stare He cocked up his leg and peed on the chair I asked him hadn't I always given him chicken soup for the soul He barked at me once then pushed forward his bowl I told him this was unacceptable behavior and I would not put up with this crap He jumped up on my sofa undeterred and settled in for his mid-morning nap
