dogA
He wasn't big when we got himB
He was littler than the dog we hadC
We thought our little dog would love himB
Would help him to become a trig dogA
But the new little dog got biggerD
And the old little dog got madC
-
Now the big dog loves the little dogA
But the little dog hates the big dogA
The little dog is eleven years oldE
And the big dog only oneF
The little dog calls him SchweinhundE
The little dog calls him Pig dogA
She grumbles broken cursesG
As she dreams in the August sunF
-
The big dog's teeth are terribleH
But he wouldn't bite the little dogA
The little dog wants to grind his bonesI
But the little dog has no teethJ
The big dog is acrobaticK
The little dog is a brittle dogA
She leaps to grip his jugularD
And passes underneathJ
-
The big dog clings to the little dogA
Like glue and cement and mortarD
The little dog is his own true loveL
But the big dog is to herD
Like a scarlet rag to a LonghornM
Or a suitcase to a porterD
The day he sat on the hornetE
I distinctly heard her purrD
-
Well how can you blame the little dogA
Who was once the household darlingN
He romps like a young AdonisO
She droops like an old mustacheP
No wonder she steals his cornerD
No wonder she comes out snarlingN
No wonder she calls him CochonM
And even Esp egrave ce de vacheP
-
Yet once I wanted a sandwichP
Either caviar or cucumberD
When the sun had not yet risenM
And the moon had not yet sankQ
As I tiptoed through the hallwayR
The big dog lay in slumberD
And the little dog slept by the big dogA
And her head was on his flankQ
