Would We Kill You

I look at the dog who has lost control
She won’t wear doggie diapers to save her soul
I said to my husband we have to put her down.
A more empathetic dog man cannot be found

What if it were you? He asks me, would we kill you?
I know we would not, and at this point it makes me blue.
Because my back is aching so much, I want to die too.
But dare I say this to my handsome prince true?
