My Dog Ate My Homework

My dog ate my homework

He doesn't know what he's done

He's forced me to defend myself

With what is essentially a pun

I asked him why'd he do it

He started licking his butt

It angered me more

This non-explanation

For my rut

I yelled at him fiercely

Coupled with a mean stare

He cocked up his leg

And peed on the chair

I asked him

Hadn't I always given him?

Chicken soup for the soul

He barked at me once

Then pushed forward his bowl

I told him

This was unacceptable behavior

And I would put away

Forever!

His leash with "Sparky"

Monikered strap

He jumped up on my sofa

Undeterred

And settled in snuggily for

His mid-morning nap
