Sparky-Dog

When my owners have a fire to burn the junk-mail
I sing like a choir and wiggle my tail.

I wait at the door for my owners to come home
and when I get tired I lie down and moan.

I see the dogs go by munching on their bones
I have to bark at them until they decide to go.

When it’s raining outside and my fur is wet
I sit at the door until I get pet.

I bark and yap and scream and roar
I also love steak, I’ll give it a gnaw.

I yell at the dog from over the fence
and when I get told off I yell at the hens.

My hair keeps me warm on the cold winter mornings
and when my owners aren’t home it is very boring.

When I was a pup I was scared of the dark
but now that I’m older it’s a walk in the park.

I’m a very small creature, I’m black and brown
I can always get rid of a sad person’s frown.

I’ll kill a few birds or even a mouse
but most of all, I love sharing my family’s house.
