another summer’s scorching dog day afternoon
i’m watching the dogs of war and hounds of hell
in their bloody dog-fights
chase the tail of some flea-ridden mongrel country
until it dies a dog’s death and buries its own bones
thrown to the dogs
going to the dogs
with not a dog’s chance of ever being lucky
another hot dog or corn dog dog-cheap
i’m living in the doghouse
and it’s a dog’s life being hounded for love and money
but if you love me you’ll love my 35 dogs
sled and search and rescue dogs
seeing eye and watchdogs
sniffer dogs and bird dogs
prairie dogs too
another winter’s blinding sundogs
i’m barking mad in my hounds-tooth hat
black dog dogging every thought
firedogs ready for the bite of another three-dog-night
i’m dog-tired but now i’ve stepped in it
and i’m left holding the doggy bag
while i let sleeping dogs lie
doggo
another hangdog dogsbody with dog breath
i’m reading dog-eared pages
eating a dog’s breakfast and drinking hair of the dog that bit
you can’t teach an old dog new tricks
and so yet again i’m drooling as i stagger up the doglegged staircase
to put on the dog and the dog collar
whining and yapping dogmatic dogma
hush puppy
another spring and it’s raining cats and dogs
dog violets and dog roses blooming
dogfish biting
i’m a sea dog and a salty dog
my dogs ache as i stand and watch the dog-star shine
and i know that this dog has had her day
i’m sicker than a dog and the time has come to roll over and play dead
doggone it anyway
