The Dog Did It

It's not my fault, I didn't do it
I'm telling you it simply wasn't me
That dog ate something nasty
That's as stinky as can be

I tried to teach him better
He thinks it's some kinda game
He usually says that you did it
But it was him, I'm not to blame

I'm innocent til proven guilty
And you have no proof
That dog has eaten an evil troll
I'm telling you the truth

I know you think I did it
But I will show no shame
Cause that dog's out to get me
And soil my innocent name

Well, at least the dog didn't eat your homework, Larry. Heard that many times while teaching. Seems to me the troll met a fitting end. LOL Great fun to read! Love, Carolyn
