I have this dear dog
that's as sweet as can be
as soon as you see her I know you'll agree |
If it is alright, I will be in about eight
If I'm not there at nine, it means I'll be late. |
Sweetie doesn't bite often, she knows it's not nice
just nips little children, and me once or twice. |
She doesn't like cages, can't stand other pets
and if she's upset, she just simply wets. |
You may bathe her fur, but don't let it soak in
I prefer that the water does not touch her skin |
She has a bad back and can't sit or stand
so have her lay down while you empty her gland. |
She's allergic to powders and dips make her sneeze
so please use the tweezers to pick out her fleas. |
She loathes being brushed and watch how you clip
she has ten thousand matts, but I don't want a strip |
There's a few more instructions, so here is a list
ignore that huge lump, it is only a cyst. |
Leave her back long to hide her bad hip
a French moustache to cover the wart on her lip |
She laid down in something that's black and quite gummy
but she always gets cold, so don't shave her tummy. |
Poodle feet, poodle tail, of course, that's the style
Don't clip her nails, please use a file. |
A very high top knot perfectly round
so what if there's little hair to be found. |
I'm sure with your talent, if you just use your noodle
you can make my Chihuahua look just like a poodle. |
There's a few other things you really should know
she wants some perfume and a polka dot bow. |
I'll be there to get her, I can't say just when
but just in case, have her ready by ten. |
