Hey... no recording for this one yet... so just some poetry for now. A song about our three cats and three dogs...more about the dogs... then the cats... who are now only two... instead of three... but who's counting.

 


Three Cats and Three Dogs

© Mark Betcher

I got a pack of dogs there are three of them
A Mini Pin, a Pug , and a Doberman
Two are alive and one is dead
And I miss that one sleeping in my bed

Now cats are cats - who gives a damn
One is white and one is black and one is tan
The one we like we call One-Eye
The bad one eye is colored like sky

Now I got Three Cats and I got Three Dogs.
Some days I take my Pug for a jog.
If you see my furry friends you'd sing'em this song.
Do the bark bark bark sing along.

Bark Bark Bark
Come-on sing it just for a lark
And give my cats one big yell now
M-M-M-M MEOWWW!

Hoover is my pug name after the FBI
His face is pretty cute - he makes grown women sigh
The little mini pin is ankle bitter high
You better give him a treat when you say good bye

Now it is more about the dogs than the cats
Dog’s will fetch toys while wearing funny hats
Cats don't play right  or beg at the door
Come to think of it... one dog STILL poops on the floor

Now each little critter is a child care for
Three cats or a three dogs, I couldn't love’em more
But if that Pug doesn't stop jumping on my guts
Well never mind... better than jumping on my...

WHOA!  Stop right there...
There Hoover chewing holes in my underwear
And there’s Mister Burns the Mini Pin
Wondering why we didn't name him Rin-Tin-Tin
