The Fanatical Dog Lover

The Fanatical Dog Lover By Elton Camp Dog ownership has much to commend Fido can be a companion and friend From his master, he will never swerve Giving love even when it’s not deserved This isn’t written, canines to condemn But to rebuke any too devoted to them Sue is one of those about whom I write Her several dogs are a shame and a fright Her husband works to get what they need She spends far too much buying dog feed Their veterinary bills are a major expense It makes her husband wish he were hence Sue tells him that her dogs are her delight To begrudge spending on them isn’t right Plus, she thinks that he shouldn’t care That the house is rife with dog hair On their bed, Sue lets the dogs sleep But poor hubby mustn’t say a peep And just as she’s done many times before Sue finds there is room for just one more For in the classified an ad does say “To a good home, a dog to give away” Her husband gives out a disgusted shout Packs his bags and angrily moves out Sue says, “To do that there is no excuse. For one who hates dogs, I have no use.” Before the poor fellow finally re-wed He decreed, “No dogs in house or bed!”
