Not-So-Hot-Dog
My doggie stole a sausage
And ran it down the street,
Discovered it was two-thirds bread
And only one-third meat.
So much bread in sausages
Is against the law.
Even tho' it's stolen,
The quality's still poor!
That sausage will not worry,
He knows 'twould be in vain,
For when that doggie's had one bite
He'll run it back again!
And so the English sausage
Was saved from mutilation:
That sausage lived till a hundred and nine
But the dog died of starvation.
