Dog Man

There’s a little man stuck in my dog,

but he’s rather well                                 disguised.                                                                                                      I know he’s in there,

cause that dog’s just too wise.

He knows too much,

he thinks too much

to simply be a dog.

He even sometimes out wits me,

and that’s not just a matter of fluking the odds.

For I’m telling you;

there really is an old man in my dog,

and I don’t think he’s that benign,

So I’m gonna keep on searching                                                             for that little in my canine.
