Spencer The Dog

“Every boy needs a dog, mom” My little boy said to me Since I was raising him all alone I tried to be the best I could be So we found this little puppy As he woke up from his sleep So small and cute and cuddly Steven said, “This is the one I’ll keep.” At first he was such a cutie He looked much like a baby Lab But time changed everything And he became so very bad He ripped my brand new jeans That I finally saved money for So he wouldn’t terrorize the neighborhood He was tied up close to the back door A watch dog he turned out to be And he loved both Steve and me But he couldn’t be trusted with anyone else I worried about my liability So I learned that you just never know When you look at a sweet little face You better take some extra time And the lineage you’d better trace!
