A Christmas Poem From the Dog

Eyeing hydrants, digging holes,
Drinking from the toilet bowls . . .

Playing games of "tug-o'-war,"
Putting scratch marks on your door . . .
Rolling over, playing dead,
Getting dog hair on your bed . . .

Scaring folks who bring the mail,
Chasing cars, as well as tail . . .

Barking, begging, heeling, howling,
And also, on occasion, growling . . .
Romping through a field of grass,
Sneezing, snoozing, passing gas . . .
Sniffing everything I see,
Peeing on the Christmas tree . . .

Woofing, wagging, chomping, chewing . . .
These are things I sure love doing!
(But I'll try not to do that tree thing . . .)

Merry Christmas!
