A Dog's Life

A Dog’s Life

I’m a black and white collie

I could herd some sheep

But on warm afternoons

I'd much rather sleep

I collapse on the grass

At peace with the world

The white tip of my tail

Lies gracefully curled

But my cat can’t resist it

She is so full of bounce

And if I just twitch it

She will crouch and then pounce

As I lie there and doze

She tickles my nose

And if I don’t respond

Then she nibbles my toes

Its just a dog’s life

When I want to snooze

She gets hold of my paws

With sharp teeth and chews

I’m such a nice dog

And I do love my cat

But she does like to tease

When I’m trying to nap
