My Dog Has Got No Manners
by Bruce Lansky
My dog has got no manners.
I think he's very rude.
He always whines at dinnertime
while we are eating food.
And when he's feeling thirsty
and wants to take a drink,
he takes it from the toilet
instead of from the sink.
He never wears a pair of pants.
He doesn't wear a shirt.
But worse, he will not shower
to wash away the dirt.
He's not polite to strangers.
He bites them in the rear.
And when I'm on the telephone,
he barks so I can't hear.
When I complained to Mommy,
she said, "I thought you knew:
the reason that his manners stink -
he learns by watching you."
