A Dog's Life

   
I'm puzzled by the muzzle  
they've wrapped around my snout  
it must have been because  
of those times that I got out  
 
I was only being friendly  
while my master wasn't there  
but the lady with the baby  
started screaming in despair  
 
The farmer with the sheep  
went fumbling for his gun  
I'd jumped the fence to play  
and then I had to run  
 
I couldn't wait to queue  
when the butcher's shop  
smelled yummy  
so I made a quick escape  
with a sausage in my tummy  
 
The only thing I've bitten  
was that football in the park  
I felt the air rush out  
but it barely left a mark  
 
When they chased me to the station  
I leapt onto a train  
rode all the way to London  
then came four paws back again  
 
Now they've locked me in a cage  
where the naughty dogs should go  
and they say I'll be put down  
if my master doesn't show  
 
I was only being playful  
a dog's life's hardly fair  
Cats get out all the time  
and no-one seems to care
