Puppies

They whimper and whine
Because they want their way
They jump and paw at you
When they want to play
As you walk through the door
After a long day at work
They jump up in excitement
Biting and jerking on your shirt
You go to sit down
So they jump in your lap
They give you a big wet kiss
Then take a long nap
Napping is what they do
To grow that little body
Chewing is what they do
As a pastime hobby
They steal your socks
Right out of the basket
You need lots of patience
Or you will blow a gasket
Puppies are destructive
But are worth it all
So don’t get a puppy unless
You’re in it for the long haul.
