One of the Dogs I Don’t Have
Listen to Rob read his poem ...
One of the dogs I don’t have
has left dirty marks
all over the front door.
I think it was the brown Poodle with the innocent eyes.
One of the dogs I don’t have
has knocked a vase of flowers
all over the kitchen floor.
I think it was the black Labrador with the velvet collar.
One of the dogs I don’t have
has woken my mum
with the world’s loudest snore.
I think it was the Jack Russell with the wispy beard.
One of the dogs I don’t have
has taken the crisps
out of the secret drawer.
I think it was the Border Collie who likes Eastenders.
One of the dogs I don’t have
has said I need that dog
I’m always asking for.
I think it could have been any
one of the dogs I don’t have.
has left dirty marks
all over the front door.
I think it was the brown Poodle with the innocent eyes.
One of the dogs I don’t have
has knocked a vase of flowers
all over the kitchen floor.
I think it was the black Labrador with the velvet collar.
One of the dogs I don’t have
has woken my mum
with the world’s loudest snore.
I think it was the Jack Russell with the wispy beard.
One of the dogs I don’t have
has taken the crisps
out of the secret drawer.
I think it was the Border Collie who likes Eastenders.
One of the dogs I don’t have
has said I need that dog
I’m always asking for.
I think it could have been any
one of the dogs I don’t have.
