Hot Dog



It’s hot, so hot, wearing a fur coat all day

When it’s sunny outside and the trees do not sway

No breeze for the cooling down

Of tired little feet

No puddles to splash in

To get rid of the heat

I may look cute, pink tongue hanging out

Laying in my bed, too tired to shout

No mithering at your heels

For tit bits galore

No urging for walkies

Flopped out on the floor

You enjoy yourself, lying out in the sun

But please don’t forget the furry one

No stripping off my layers

Not allowed in the pool

No natural way of my

Keeping cool

Blistered feet, walked on hot tarmac

Enjoy your ice cream, I want to go back

Don’t leave me to wait

In your hot car

While you nip out to the shops

To restock your bar
 
Cocktails, and mocktails, sangria, beer
 
And a big bowl of water, cool and clear

It’s hot, so hot being a dog all day

When the sun is relentless, and the trees don’t sway.
