My sister-in-law’s dog, a Coton de Tulear, would like to introduce herself to you.
Hi! My mom calls me Eleanor Rigby when she wants me to pay attention to her, but usually I’m just plain – well, not so plain, really – Ellie.
It’s been a trying day today,
No postman going by,
No other dogs came by to play,
And I will tell you why.
Today has been a holiday,
The businesses closed,
Most folks won’t go to work today,
And so for you I’ve posed.
I’m lying here on my day off,
Don’t need to do my job,
Of barking at each passing toff,
Or anyone who’d rob.
I take it easy on my couch,
That has my doggie throw,
My mistress surely is no slouch,
“A pillow? There you go!”
