A quirky look at life from a Yorkshire poet and his dog's perspective
Canine Therapy
Canine Therapy
If your work's in a mess
And your mind's in a fog,
If you're feeling depressed,
Grab a leash, walk the dog.
If your love life is crap
And you need a good snog,
If your boyfriend's got clap,
Grab a leash, walk the dog.
If you can't find your prince,
And you're stuck with a frog,
If you've lost your blue rinse,
Grab a leash, walk the dog.
If you're fed up at home,
Sick of cleaning the bog,
You've no teeth in your comb,
Grab a leash, walk the dog.
If you want high heeled shoes,
And you've only one clog,
When you've got Monday blues,
Grab a leash, walk the dog.
You are driving the motor,
But you're just a small cog,
Then, stuff that new rota,
Grab a leash, walk the dog.
If you married a hunk,
And he turned out, a hog
There's no need to get drunk,
Grab a leash, walk the dog.
If your drink is cocktail,
And you're given egg nog,
Put some wind in your sail,
Grab a leash, walk the dog.
So, when nothing seems right
In your back catalogue,
Make the world look more bright,
Grab a leash, walk the dog.
this is classic, Hobbo. I’m really impressed. You’ve maintained the jaunty, gently admonitory tone evenly throughout all stanzas. A tour de force, Hobbo, warm and hugely entertaining. Dauphy will be impressed 🙂
Lol; you’ve both done well 🙂 in fact, I may commit it to my commonplace book 🙂 now here’s a thought, Hobbo: what do us poor yokels do who have no pets?

maybe; the act of going for a walk, a stroll is often enough in itself 🙂

Couldn’t agree more. It is the ultimate solution… possibly for men as well.
