Outrage Over Dog's Destruction
By Elton Camp
Dog lovers are in an uproar
Won’t tolerate it anymore
A precious dog has been killed
Their loving hearts are chilled
Its life was very important, they say
It shouldn’t have been done that way
Though the chance had been detected
With Ebola virus it might be infected
They say, with a hypocritical smile
“Just quarantine the dog for a while.”
“If it sickens please wait and see.
If not, set the noble creature free.”
Never mind the enormous cost
Or that human lives could be lost
Others, they want that chance to take
But not them, for goodness sake!
Folks that crazy in the head
Should let it sleep on their bed
They won’t, out a rightful fear
Yet, whining we still will hear
