The neighbours went off on their yearly vacation,
Off to visit some foreign nation.
Leaving me keys and a list a mile long, 
To watch their pets. What could go wrong?

The rottweiler is a gentle soul
As long as there's always food in her bowl.
The trick is filling it as quick as can be,
So you need to be fast, faster than me.

The birds take pride in emptying their dishes
All over the floor, and then there's the fishes.
So there's food and water and then food again,
Making sure there's enough to last until when

The next day begins and we start it anew.
I'm told there's a cat. Really! Who knew?
If there is , it certainly keeps itself hid.
It's like playing hide and seek with some little kid.

Walking the dog has become quite a chore.
She sees the leash and runs for the door.
After being dragged two miles the walk finally starts.
The dog is immense, she should be pulling carts.

Back to the house and the hide and seek game.
If there is a cat, it doesn't come to it's name.
The birds are now staring at their seeds on the floor.
I refuse to refill the dishes as I head to the door.

So this daily ritual will last  another week
And I'll keep trying to win the game of hide and seek.
Thank goodness their vacation only comes once a year.
After watching the pets ....I could sure use a beer.

Fleas

The cat sat on the mat
The mat sat on the floor
The budgie's on the mantlepiece
The dog is by the door

 
I'm sitting in the armchair
Feeling ill at ease
The dog has started scratching
I think that He's got fleas 

 
I take him in the bathroom
I put him in the tub
Run some lukewarm water
And give him a good scrub

 
I've got some doggy shampoo
It's really got some clout
It gets a real good lather
And the buggers all fall out

 
Rinse him off and dry him
And sit him by the heat
Go into the kitchen
And get him food to eat

 
Nearly time for sleep now
There's one thing that I dread
If the dog has still got fleas
Do I want him on the bed ?
