My Hybrid Dog
A Hybrid Dog
At first, my dog seemed normal to me
Doing the things that dogs do
Then he started signaling for turns
And stopping for red lights, too
There came a time when he wouldn’t poop
Like anyone else, he missed ‘em
A trip to the local mechanic revealed
A clogged emission system
Then whenever it started to rain
He started acting real hyper
So I took him to the auto parts store
And fit him out with a wiper
Whenever a stranger came to the door
He yapped as you’d assume
But soon he stopped his barking
And started to go ‘VROOOM”
Things went smoothly for a while
He did nothing for which I was sorry
Until I caught him at the curb
Trying to hump a Ferrari
Yesterday, he lapped up some gasoline
At the station yesterday
He ran in circles real crazy,
Then sprinted like mad away
He ran for no more than a block
Then keeled over, I feared he was dead
But no reason at all to be alarmed
He just ran out of gas instead
I love my dog without condition
No matter what it requires
He’ll always have a home with me
Until his warranty expires
