LAMENT OF A LADY WHO'S GONE TO THE DOGS

(OLDIE BUT GOOD TO REPEAT)

Author Unknown



There was a time, there really was
when I was sweet and tender
when "Show Dog" meant a Disney star
and bitch was not a gender

I went to bed at half past ten
I went to church on Sunday
On Saturday I baked the beans
and did the wash on Monday

But then I got a certain pup
and an erstwhile friend said "SHOW"
and so I did and so I do
Oh! What I didn't know

I used to dress with flair and style
that was the life, don't knock it
But now each dress from bed to ball
must have a good bait pocket.

I used to have a certain air
I wallowed in perfume
I used to smell of Niut D'Amour
Now I smell like Mr. Groom.

My furniture was haute decor
My pets a tank of guppies
Now I've furniture unstuffed
and well-adjusted puppies

once I spoke in pristine prose
In dulcet tones and frail
But now I'm using language
that would turn a sailor pale.

I was taught to be well groomed
no matter where I went.
Now all the grooming that I do
is in the handler's tent.

I used to long for furs and jewels
and a figure classed as super.
Now the thing I yearn for most
is a nice new pooper scooper.

I adored a man who murmured verse,
through intimate little dinners.
But now the words I thrill to hear,
are just three, "best of winners"

I rise at dawn and pack the car
the road ahead is a long one.
The one I routed on the maps,
invariably is the wrong one.

I really love this doggy life,
I wouldn't care to change it.
But when I get that Best in Show,
I plan to rearrange it.

When my time on earth is done,
I'll go without much nudging
Just give me three weeks closing date,
and let me know who's judging

**Hope all those in the storm's way is safe and this will make them smile. Dee
