I HAVE THIS LITTLE POODLE -- SHE’S BLACK AND SHE’S CURLY ---
VERY UNLIKE THE GUARD DOG -- WHO IS ALWAYS BIG AND BURLY ---
SHE WEIGHS IN AT FOUR POUNDS – THAT’S IF SHE’S SOAKING WET ---
SHE’S NEITHER GUARD NOR HUNTER – BUT JUST A LITTLE OLE PET.
NOW MANY FOLKS HAVE ASKED ME – WHAT IS THAT DOG GOOD FOR ---
THE ANSWER IS SLEEPIN’ AND EATIN’ – AND TO SCRATCH AT THE DOOR ---
SHE HAS THE RUN OF THE HOUSE – NOTHIN’ IN THERE SHE CAN HURT ---
SHE ONLY CARRIES IN STICKS – AND ON OCCASION A PAW PRINT OF DIRT .
THIS POODLE SURE IS CURIOUS – ALWAYS LOOKIN’ FOR THE CHASE ---
IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO MOVE – THERES GONNA’ BE A RACE ---
SHE NEVER CATCHES NOTHIN’ – SHE’S NOT A HOUND AFTER ALL
TO THE HOUND IT MAY BE SPORTING – TO THIS POODLE IT’S HAVIN’ A BALL.
TWO EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULE – TWO THINGS TO BE LEFT ALONE ---
ONE IS A BIG OLE TOMCAT – THE OTHER ANOTHER DOG’S BONE ---
SHE ONCE WENT AFTER THIS TOMCAT – HE DIDN’T TURN AND RUN ---
DIDN’T TAKE HER LONG TO FIND OUT – THAT TOMCATS ARE NO FUN.
THAT OLE CAT HUMPED HIS BACK – HE SPIT AND HE CLAWED ---
AND WHEN THE FIGHT WAS OVER – THAT POODLE HE HAD FLAWED ---
THEM BIG OLE FELINES – THEY SURE ARE SOME MEAN CATS ---
THAT ONE LIVED OFF DOGS – HE DID NOT FEAST ON RATS.
THE DOG WORLD SURE IS FUNNY – THEY’RE NEITHER DUMB NOR DIM ---
THEY THINK WE’RE THEIR PROPERTY – THAT WE BELONG TO THEM ---
DON’T GO AND GET ME WRONG – A DAWG IN A DAWG’S PLACE ---
BUT THIS ONE DON’T KNOW SHE’S A DAWG – BUT RATHER OF THE HUMAN RACE .
NOW I ASK ALL YOU DAWG OWNERS – NO MATTER WHAT THE BREED ---
WHAT WOULD WE DO FOPR PETS – IF FROM MUTTS WE’RE EVER FREED ---
THEY CAN BE AN ADDED EXPENSE – COST YOU MANY EXTRA DOLLARS ---
WHAT WITH ALL OF THEM THAR SHOTS – TO SAY NOTHIN’ OF FLEA COLLARS.
THIS POODLE IS TWELVE YEARS OLD –SHE’S LIVED MORE’N HALF HER TIME ---
WHAT WOULD BE HER WORTH -- I’D SAY ABOUT A DIME ---
BUT FOR ANY WHO WOULD WANT HER -- HERE’S AN ANSWER TO ACCORD YA’ ---
THERE’S NOTHIN’ THAT WILL BUY HER – NOT EVEN THAT FARM IN GEORGIA.
