An Unexpected Guest

A scratching noise, a whimpering sound

I opened my door and there I found

A mangy dog with smelly coat

A slobbering tongue hung from it's throat.

And then with such a bounding glee

It ran inside and bit my knee

And then proceeded to my thigh

With amorous intent - it wasn't shy.

I shook my leg - the dog absorbed it

I tried to launch it into orbit

To no avail, it clung on tight

It seems it wants to stay the night.

With growls and howls it made me wince

My cat flew out - haven't seen it since

I wrestled hard in each position

My big mistake: to feign submission.

I pray to all the Gods above

That you should never have it's love

And if some day this dog you meet

Be careful that it's not on heat!
