PEPE'S POINT OF VIEW

Hi Folks!  I'm 'Sir Pepe',
I own my master, Joe.
I look out for him and guard his house.
'Don't let anyone in, I don't know.
 
You know, you humans sure have it made,
So many nice things you own.
I live a simple life; if I do real well,
Master Joe may toss me a bone!
 
Where did people ever get the idea
Dogs should walk close to their feet?
If your master was as clutzy as mine,
You'd be safer out in the street!
 
I'm not really a very large dog,
In fact, they call me a miniature Poodle.
I act very cute when I want a treat...
They don't realize I'm using my noodle!
 
We have several large dogs in the neighborhood,
One right next door is a FEMALE Giant!
I've been racking my brain, but with no success...
I'd kind of like to make her my 'client'!
 
I'm what humans call 'single and available:
But it wasn't always that way, you know.
I had a 'wife' and three gobs of pups..
But the day came when she had to go.
 
I've heard Master Joe talking about her...
But when I get near, he talks real low.
I don't think he knows, even dogs realize
There comes a day when we all have to go.
 
I think that's what's happened to 'Fru-Fru',
She was my sexly little wife.
I still look at other girl dogs,
But I was promised to her, for life.
 
I'm kind of in a quandry,
'Don't know quite what to do.
It seems Master Joe knows how I feel..
He keeps me from feeling so blue!
 
He reaches over and pats my head,
Or scratches me...(where I don't itch!)
I'll tell you the truth about a 'Dogs Life'...
Very honestly.............It's a bitch!
 
                     (Love you anyway, 'master' Joe)
                                   Pepe' !
