Which dog?

 

At last we’re going to get a dog,

a loving  family pet

but, sadly, we all disagree

on just which dog to get.

 

Mum who loves her garden beds,

who weeds in them for hours

demands a breed that’s guaranteed

to stay away from flowers.

 

Liz would like a Pekinese

to put up on her lap

but Mum believes that dogs like these

will only bite and yap.

 

Dad is sure a boxer dog

would guard the house from robbers

but Liz and I would rather die

than have a dog that slobbers

 

And I would like a Doberman

but Liz says they’re too scary.

She’s still saying Please, a Pekinese

but I say they’re too hairy.

 

The more we talk, the more I think

we’ll never get this pet.

The dog we need must be a breed

that hasn’t surfaced yet.
