Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GEGEHI CJCJKK| They dumped it on the lonely road | A |
| Then like a streak they sped | B |
| And as along the way I strode | A |
| I thought that it was dead | B |
| And then I saw that yelping pup | C |
| Rise race to catch them up | C |
| - | |
| You know how silly wee dogs are | D |
| It thought they were in fun | E |
| Trying to overtake their car | D |
| I saw it run and run | E |
| But as they faster faster went | F |
| It stumbled sore and spent | F |
| - | |
| I found it prone upon the way | G |
| Of life was little token | E |
| As limply in the dust it lay | G |
| I thought its heart was broken | E |
| Then one dim eye it opened and | H |
| It sought to like my hand | I |
| - | |
| Of course I took it gently up | C |
| And brought it to my wife | J |
| Who loves all dogs and now that pup | C |
| Shares in our happy life | J |
| Yet how I curse the bastards who | K |
| Its good luck never knew | K |
