Dog! Ball! Awww?
I'm crashing through your living room
without a care left in my fur.
Everything's a thud and blur
because I'm all about the ball:
it hit the couch, bounced off the broom.
I cannot sniff it out at all.
It doesn't matter: there's the cat!
Today I'll show him where it's at.
He's sly, so fast. Where did it go?
Sorry, Michelangelo!
I'll blame the cat for - what's that sound?
Is that your car coming around?
Ripped pillows, mud: can I deny?
Act cute. Give paw. At least I'll try!
