He Is Still Just a Dog

 

By Elton Camp

 

 

It’s obvious that you think your dog’s mighty fine

From the way you boast of his amazing bloodline

And with the American Kennel Club he is on the list

To show his registration papers you always insist

 

To ever so many dog shows you and Jacque will go

You think the judges will say that he’s best in show

Even if he should somehow manage to fool them

I’ve seen too much to be overly impressed with him

 

For at the park I saw that Jacques was still inclined

Get a big whiff of the odor of another mutt’s behind

To think he’s special, you own self you are tricking

Because afterward I saw what it was he was licking

 

If he is so fancy, then you would surely want to think

That from the bathroom toilet he wouldn’t take a drink

Although you believe that your dog is so sophisticated,

To all of those lesser curs, his actions show he’s related
