Why He's Just a Big PuppyA Poem by Elton CampLove me, love my dog.Why He’s Just a Big Puppy
By Elton Camp Big Brutus just loves to have his ears scratched As one of “man’s best friends,” he’s unmatched Having him as a pet is such a continual delight We let him sleep with us on our bed every night And when we take a trip, whether it’s near or far We take him along on the bus, train, plane or car It’s no problem and we haven’t found a hotel yet That has refused to graciously accept our big pet At friends’ houses, we insist Brutus be included We will depart in an angry huff if he is excluded It is true that he may break things once in a while But a good host will say it’s okay and then smile Being the owners of Brutus gives us such a thrill, The only drawback: you should see our Alpo bill But excuse me just a moment as I catch that flea It has jumped from Brutus to you and then to me
