Pavlov's Dog
My girl is quite remarkable
When I slip out, she’s sound asleep.
When next, I turn the coffee on,
She’s motionless, in slumbers deep.
I open up my medicines
And make a racket with those pills,
But she’s still snoring on her bed,
She’s lying peaceful, ever still.
But when, with a distinctive ‘click’,
I open up her Apoquel,
I turn around; she’s sitting there.
All I can say is, “Bloody Hell!”
I don’t know how she manages
To go from sleeping like a log
To salivating at her bowl,
But Pavlov, that guy, knew his dogs!
