Doggies from Giggles by Dave Gibb

Doggies
2005 Dave Gibb MCPS/PRS

The thing about wee doggies are those little pile of jobbies
That somehow always seem to end up underneath your shoes
They jobby here, they jobby there, they jobby every bloody where
You cannot walk along the pavement for the piles of puppy poo

Now I don’t know why folk keep them unless it’s just to skin and eat them
Like they do in south East Asia where they keep their mutts for food
The don’t groom them, they don’t spoil them, they just casserole or boil them
And they say you’ve never lived until you’ve tasted puppy stew

When they talk about good dog food – they mean Labradors that taste good
And I don’t really think it’s up to us to criticise
They let their food run round their home then whack! It’s puppy on the bone
And when they say they’re going to wok the dog they don’t mean exercise

But over here they take them walkies all these owners and their doggies
I really find it hard sometimes to say who’s walking who
I’m sure you must have seen them with not a lot to choose between them
They start to look like one another – some even share the same I.Q.

All those different shapes and breeds – the way we’ve bent them to our needs
It is never wise to interfere with evolution’s course
They say in time I’ll learn to love them but the only way I’d have one
Is stir-fried in a bun with lots of HP sauce
