Forgiving the Charmer

Listen to poem:
I asked the dog what he thought of my singing He had other engagements, had heard the phone ringing I was quite perturbed maybe the song wasn't the one So I suggested I be Kiki Dee and he Elton John Now he likes very much this particular song I was on good turf, couldn't put a foot wrong So I told him not to break my heart He said he never would, through the medium of bark I patted my knees and we danced round the room Delightfully not caring if we looked like loons I light up his life, know all the right things to say Like walkies and treats and do you want to play He follows me round, has hours of cuddles Does a knowing face should I be facing struggles Jumps in my hammock if he spots me outside Not an ounce of love does he try to hide Of course he was trained but not in affection I believe we just have a true connection He greets me at the door, agrees that he missed me We are kindred spirits, each others cup of tea Ok, he wasn't too thrilled when I sang Bananarama But I've forgiven him completely because he's a real life charmer
