'Walkies!" I call, in my highest-pitched voice
And her legs go all silly, like they haven't a choice
And her tail waggles madly as she scoots 'cross the floor
Whipping round like a rudder till we're steered out the door.
Then the cool morning air hits her nose without sound
And she vacuums it up as she sniffs all around
And she just can't decide on the best way to go
So I have to say, "Here, girl!" to show that I know.
But sometimes she runs off to hunt down a scent
And I huff and I puff just to see where she went
And I have to be quick 'cause I know she's forgotten
That Mum doesn't like when she rolls in things rotten.
And when we get home I collapse in the chair
And she gives me those eyes, like to say, "It's not fair!"
And I tell her that walks cannot go on forever
And I know that she knows, 'cause she's terribly clever.
