The Post Man and My Dog
The postman and my dog
Are not the best of friends
It seems that when he visits
My dog bites his rear end
Their war is rather silent
They never say a word
Why they fight is a mystery
It’s really quite absurd
I saw the postman in the bush
Hiding from my dog
Creeping to the mail box
While crouching under a log
Then one day without notice
The postman brought a bag
Full of pounds of sausage meat
That my dog could eat and have
From then on each day the postman came
Bringing pounds of meat
And when he came to the gate
My dog was there to greet
And though it does seem bribery
I think it works quite a spell
For my dog and the postman
Now get on quite well.
