Pet Me Daddy - A Poem

[To Lita Ford's "Kiss Me Deadly"]

I ran at a cat that was in the back yard,
I slipped on a branch and my nose got jarred.
Oh heck, that ain't a good thing.

Rolled in the mud just to get a good smell
Walked in the front door and got bathed like hell.
Oh woof. That ain't a good thing.

I went to the kitchen to lay in the sun.
Beau's there already, snores like a Hun.
Oh bark. That ain't a good thing.

And my fleece isn't here;
I think it's been washing all year.
And the water bowl's dry.
I think I got dirt in my eye.
Oh, arf

Feelin' bad
Down and sad
I've had such a bad day, pet me, Daddy!

Got a pig ear, chewin' free.
Beau comes, snatches my bliss from me.
Oh woof. That ain't a good thing.

Hours to dinner, got no treats.
Had to go potty in the cold driving sleet.
Oh bark. That was a bad thing.

And I can't catch a squirrel.
My dinner's gonna make me hurl
And my belly needs rubbed.
And I wanna take a taste of your grub.
Yum yum.

What a day.
Life is grey.
This is such a bad day, pet me, Daddy!

See my grouch
On the couch.
I've had such a bad day, pet me, Daddy!

I want bellyrubbing from you
Petting from you

Need some love
Axe the glove
I've had such a bad day, pet me, Daddy!

Got a pat!
More of that!
I've had such a bad day, pet me,
I've had such a bad day, pet me,
I've had such a bad day, pet me, Daddy!
