Iggy Sang

Iggy sang “I wanna be your dog”

And I won’t dare say that, or lucky for you,

I won’t sing it either.

But I will say some things about a dog’s life.

About how when I was a child,

The phrase “You treat me like a dog!”

Meant to be treated badly.

Most dogs I know, these days,

Have two or three meals every day,

Carefully prepared and lovingly delivered

With compliments such as

“What a pretty dog: what a good dog you are!”

And these affirmations come out of nowhere it seems,

Everyone on the street, everyone driving by,

Good dog! Pretty dog! Ain’t you cute?!?!

Then there is a willingness by the important people in their lives

To play with them, at least for a while,

every single day

And let’s not forget the belly tickling,

Again and again,

Every single day.

Belly tickling!

A Dog’s Life.

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
