No Barking

Its all about the space
I'm afraid you must be quiet
No barking my love
We don't want to start a riot

Of discontented neighbors
Who will come out to swear
At your sweet barking face
And the scowl on mine that they dare

Not challenge my protector
My little alarm so fine
No barking now  my Mister
You have to wait until the time

The burgler is climbing in
To steal our priceless stuff
(We have priceless stuff ...? )
Then you'll bark enough

To wake the deafest on the block
And I'll be so proud of you
So no barking at the mailman
He isn't a bone to chew

And no barking at the visitor
Who comes to laugh with us
No barking right now
We don't want any fuss

So, let's go off  to the park
Where you can be a part
Of other dogs who play
And bark with all your heart!
