When the Dogs Bite: 31st August 2024

sneaking out

without the big dog

timid Widget

I didn't know he'd cut his feet

but blood covered the floor

I was making DK's birthday card

when Cookie came in the door

I bandaged one, I bandaged two,

I bandaged three and four

without a doubt the blood poured out

when Cookie came in the door

I put him out to lick his wounds

though his pads were full of gore

wished DK happy day of birth

when Cookie came in the door.

"You'll have to take him to the vet,

because he might be sore,"

said DK, sitting up in bed,

when Cookie came in the door.

"That looks pretty serious,"

the vet tutted some moore,

"sedate and stitch him up, we will,"

when Cookie came in the door.

Two drained bank accounts

and tears like none before,

We left him in their gentle hands

when Cookie came in the door.

five hours later, we collect

a groggy rottie poor;

but still a lick and kiss hello

when Cookie came in the door.
