- FOR SALE TO A GOOD HOME
-
- I was born in the Summer
a few years ago.
Quite why I was born,
I'll never know.
Some folk who owned my
mother, decided to breed.
No reason I know of except
for their greed.
-
- I know I was hungry, I
know I was cold.
They sold me quite early
at just five weeks old.
My number one owners
seemed friendly at first.
And life was quite good
till my bubble burst.
-
- They started to argue,
their marriage split up.
And in the AD: "For Sale
- 4 months old pup".
Some folk arrived, the
next ones in line.
They treated me kind
and life was just fine.
-
- But Master dropped dead,
and she couldn't cope.
So she sold me again
(I'll soon give up hope).
I now had a new home
right up in the sky.
We went up in the lift
fourteen floors high!
-
- The new folk were kind
but they left me all day.
I was bursting to wee
and had nowhere to play.
It was boredom, I think,
when I chewed up the chair.
They agreed I should
go as it just wasn't fair.
-
- The next home was good
and I thought "this is it"!
They started to show
and I won....well, a bit.
Then somebody told them
that I had no bone.
And in went the AD: "For
Sale...to a good home".
-
- The next lot were dreadful,
they wanted a guard.
But I didn't know how,
although I tried hard.
One night they got burgled
and I didn't bark.
Tied up in that shed
and alone in the dark.
-
- For four months I lay
in that cold and dark shed.
With only an old paper
sack for a bed.
A small dish of water
all slimy and green.
The state I was in, well,
it had to be seen!
-
- I longed for destruction,
and an end to the pain.
But some new people came
and I went off again.
Well now I'm with Rescue
and this home is good.
There's walks in the
country and lots of good food.
-
- There's kisses and cuddles
to great me each day.
But I dread the time
they will send me away.
But for now here I stand,
skin and bone on all four.
PLEASE......don't let
"ME" happen to any of yours!!
