Why He's Just a Big Puppy
Why He’s Just a Big Puppy
By Elton Camp
Big Brutus just loves to have his ears scratched
As one of “man’s best friends,” he’s unmatched
Having him as a pet is such a continual delight
We let him sleep with us on our bed every night
And when we take a trip, whether it’s near or far
We take him along on the bus, train, plane or car
It’s no problem and we haven’t found a hotel yet
That has refused to graciously accept our big pet
At friends’ houses, we insist Brutus be included
We will depart in an angry huff if he is excluded
It is true that he may break things once in a while
But a good host will say it’s okay and then smile
Being the owners of Brutus gives us such a thrill,
The only drawback: you should see our Alpo bill
But excuse me just a moment as I catch that flea
It has jumped from Brutus to you and then to me
