Coming Home

Happy to see me?

Is that why you
are jumping so high,
trying to turn
yourself
inside out?

Little Dog’s cold nose

Walking the Dog Seems Like Fun To Me
By Roger Stevens
Dad said, The dog wants a walk.

Mum said to Dad, It's your turn
Dad said, I always walk the dog.
Mum said, Well I walked her this morning
Dad said, She's your dog -
I didn't want a dog in the first place

Mum said, It's your turn.

Dad stood up and threw the remote control
at the pot plant
Dad said, I'm going down the pub
Mum said, Take the dog

Dad shouted, No way!
Mum shouted, You're going nowhere!

I grabbed Judy's lead
and we both bolted out the back door

The stars were shining like diamonds
Judy sniffed at a hedgehog, rolled up in a ball
She ate a discarded kebab on the pavement
She chased a cat up a tree

Walking the dog
seems like fun to me







Happy Dog
By Flying Lemming
I’m a happy dog at the beach
If I had the power of speech
I would tell you all
To throw my ball
I’m a happy dog at the beach

I’m a happy dog at the beach
There are no new tricks you can teach
I’m bouncy and glad
And my tail wags like mad
I’m a happy dog at the beach

I’m a happy dog at the beach
My joy is always in reach
Whatever the talk
It’s the best place to walk
I’m a happy dog at the beach

I’m a happy dog at the beach
As I hear the seagulls screech
I chase and I bark
Long into the dark
I’m a happy dog at the beach

I’m a happy dog at the beach
And I don’t want to start to preach
But if you ask me
The best thing to see
Is a happy dog at the beach
