The Day My Dog Smoked a Pipe

The day my dog smoked a pipe

Was dark and dreary,

His eyes, however,

Were bright and cheery,

Like a Hawk on a wire

over looking the newspaper,

My wife served him a plate of bacon,

He said not a word,

But sniffed,

and munched thoughtfully.

Afterward this skillfully lighting my pipe

He began puffing and turning the pages

first the daily news, then the sports section.

I slapped the paper in defiance,

He simply humphed, puffed and turned the pages.

My wife shewed me away.

And I incensed jumped upon

The Mantle piece curling my tail

around my hinds.
