Dog Lovers

Spike Milligan


So they bought you 
And kept you in a 
Very good home.
Central heating
TV
A deep freeze
A very good home.
No one to take you
I or that lovely long run−
But otherwise
'A very good home'.
They fed you Pal and Chum
But not that lovely long run,
Until, med with energy and boredom
You escaped − and ran and ran and ran
Under a car
Today they will cry for you−
Tomorrow they will buy another dog.
