| For Sale To A Good Home |
| I was born in the summer a few years ago Quite why I was born, I'll never know Some folk who owned my mother, decided to breed No reason I know of except for their greed I know I was hungry, I know I was cold They sold me quite early at just five weeks old My number one owners seemed friendly at first And life was quite good till my bubble burst They started to argue, their marriage split up And in the AD "For Sale - 4 month old pup" Some folk arrived, the next ones in line They treated me kind and life was just fine But Master dropped dead, and she couldn't cope So she sold me again (I'll soon give up hope) I now had a new home right up in the sky We went up in the lift fourteen floors high! The new folk were kind but they left me all day I was bursting to wee and had nowhere to play It was boredom, I think, when I chewed up the chair They agreed I should go as it just wasn't fair The next home was good and I thought "this is it"! The started to show and I won.....well, a bit Then somebody told them that I had no bone And in went the AD: "For Sale...to a good home" The next lot were dreadful, they wanted a guard But I didn't know how, although I tried hard One night they got broke into and I didn't bark Tied up in that shed and alone in the dark For four months I lay in that cold and dark shed With only an old paper sack for a bed A small dish of water all slimy and green The state I was in, well, it had to be seen I longed for destruction, and an end to the pain But some new people came and I went off again Well now I'm with Rescue and this home is good There's walks in the country and lots of good food There's kisses and cuddles to greet me each day But I dread the time they will send me away But for now here I stand, skin and bone on all four PLEASE PLEASE..... don't let "ME" happen to any of yours!! --Author Unknown |
