A Dog's Life
A Dog's Life
A dog today, I wish I'd stay,
So I may always be at play.
Just games so gay, with love I say,
a pat sends all troubles away.
A bowl of food, toys and chews,
at tug-of-war I'd never lose.
I'd never care from where these came,
my owner would always bring the same.
No hardships other than when he's sad,
I'd lick his cheek to make him glad.
And when it seems a rainy day,
I'd bring a ball, and we would play.
I would grow old, at his feet,
and when I'm gone his heart would weep.
But then another takes my place,
I'd be not sad, for this is fate.
He'd look down at his new puppy,
and in his eyes he would see me.
A dog's life may not be so bad.
A dog's life is the best I'd have.
