My Dog
My dog is bigger than yours,
It’s as dark as the night
And has planets for paws.
My dog is bigger than yours,
Its mouth’s a black hole
And when it barks, it roars.
My dog is bigger than yours,
Its legs are four redwoods
And when it jumps, it soars.
My dog is bigger than yours,
Its breath’s a tornado
That wrecks roofs when it snores.
My dog is bigger than yours,
Its teeth are all pyramids
And it has bear traps for jaws.
My dog is bigger than yours
But no you can’t see him yet!
I know you won’t believe me, but…
He’s just gobbled the vet!
It’s as dark as the night
And has planets for paws.
My dog is bigger than yours,
Its mouth’s a black hole
And when it barks, it roars.
My dog is bigger than yours,
Its legs are four redwoods
And when it jumps, it soars.
My dog is bigger than yours,
Its breath’s a tornado
That wrecks roofs when it snores.
My dog is bigger than yours,
Its teeth are all pyramids
And it has bear traps for jaws.
My dog is bigger than yours
But no you can’t see him yet!
I know you won’t believe me, but…
He’s just gobbled the vet!
