If You Beat Your Dog

If you beat your dog what does this say of you That to love and compassion you cannot be true I pity your children and I pity your wife With you they must have the most miserable life Your dog is the most aggressive dog on the street The reason he is this way is that him you mistreat Each time I pass your locked front yard gate he growls and bares his teeth Could he escape from the yard him I'd not wish to meet Those who beat their dog can also beat their wife, daughter and son For cruelty does not have borders when all is said and done Your dog does not greet you home from work at the gate He does not respect you as his master or mate The fear he has of you in aggression to others he does show The sort of person you are through your aggressive dog I have come to know.
