The Ideas of Chairman Anyhow : Canines

Albert

My greatest furry pal

who sits on my lap

brown eared however largely white

My little outdated chap

he has an eyepatch

however sails no sea

other than those

He fills together with his pee

he growls and he snarls

He barks and he yips

when the postie arrives

bloody apocalypse

He annoys me typically

when he barks on the telly

and when he lets one go

It is silent however smelly

However I really like my little canine

regardless of all his crimes

As a result of with out him

I’d now not rhyme
