Next door to me
there resides
a friendly dog called Bengi.
Well I'll let you decide
as I explain
about his peculiarity.
You see imagine its still
peaceful you know
odd twittering bird letting out a recital,
then a car toots its horn
and all hell breaks loose
as Bengi bursts into action
barking without a pause.
The cars long gone
and still he yaps
though after a while there are some gaps.
And what if it thunders
oh heaven forbid,
Bengi sticks his head out of a window
and raises the lid.
Of course this gets worse
he thinks it replies
as another rumble runs across the sky.
Unpeturbed he sorts it out
tells it to clear off
get away from his patch.
Even when I
being next door
sneeze on occasion
he tells me what for.
Nice dog is Benji
though misunderstood
he is only trying to do whats good.
