Going To The Dogs

When 'going to the dogs' stirs an envious watcher.

Though tagged, it's a dog's life

I want a 'take' of its pomposity.

Ahh...perhaps my request

has tweaked your curiosity?

 

Oh, if only to be a Westminister's

privileged cur,

adored and pampered

and addressed as Sir.

 

To be coddled and pedicured,

dipped and clipped,

and from life's full cup

my gulps would be sipped.

 

I'd end the aimless rambling,

my needs would be met,

being a King of the hill,

my life would be set!

 

You're asking me why

my sudden change of heart?

I'm just an old alley cat...

who's finally gotten smart!
