The day I let the dog out

A scratch at the basement door

a dog wimpers, on the floor

Just loud enough for me to hear

So I get up into second gear

 

Passing the kitchen, passing the hall

Passing the big mirror on the wall

Eleven steps down, 9 steps to the mat

A pat on her head, a pat on her back

 

I grip the doorknob with a pale clammy hand

And twist it around and pull like a man

Gravel under the door makes a scratchy sound

and quickly enough, there runs the hound!

 

Into the yard, I'm watching her run

Tail wagging lively, she's mooching for fun

I step inside, close the door behind me

adjust the mat beneath me to keep it neat and tidy

 

With quickening speed I run up the stairs

1 to 11, In seconds I'm there

I pass by the mirror, I pass through the hall

I get to the couch and then I stall.

 

Before I can sit, I hear it in the yard

My dog loudly barking, my dog yapping hard.

And after seconds she's still loud

so I march down the stairs, not-so-proud.

 

I unlock the door, open it wide

stomp to the yard right to her side

get ready to scold her, her tail's gonna hide

and then I see what she's looking inside

 

A pot on the lawn, the size of a ball

and inside a little black kitten is all.

hair standing straight on his small fragile back

His little pink nose, the size of a tack

 

I hush the doggy quiet

in the pot, I grab inside it

lifting out my scared new pet

whispering "love, dont you fret"
