Ode to Bouncer (is this your dog too?)
Ode To Bouncer
Playful and stinky
First come to mind
With faithful and honest
Not too far behind
These things are what make him our dog
large brown eyes
Big Black wet nose
On my pillow he lies
In canine repose
He’s poopy and snoopy
With an aura of funky
Ears sad and droopy
Face like a monkey
These things are what make him our dog
Cat hater, butt sniffer
A foot warmer at night
Crotch prodder, leg lifter
He’s been known to bite
In case of a prowler
No Protector of mine
Cowers in the shower
Growls turn to a whine
These things are what make him our dog
He’s drippy and leaky
And way too trusting
Loves toys that are squeaky
Eats food that’s disgusting
Licks me awake
Eyes happily bugging
His neck I could break
Instead I just hug him
These things are what make him our dog
He falls in the pool
Sleeps upside down
Not looking too cool
With jowls in a frown
An aversion to grooming
Addicted to grime
Sees a bath looming
As a capital crime
These things are what makes him our dog
Gnaws on our shoes
Leaves presents of scat
And then when accused
Blames it all on the cat
With small kids he’s ok
round their food can’t be trusted
Cookie crumbs in his beard
Hangs head low, knows he’s busted
These things are what makes him our dog
Sits up on his heinie
at his supper table station
Looks piteous and tiny
Beggar waiting for donation
Licking his privates, languid and lazy
Out of my chair I must shove him
My family and I all must be crazy
So why in the hell do we love him?
These things are what makes him our dog
