Alsatian Dog - Simon Bookish

The Alsatian dog walks past Adam and Eve

The Alsatian dog finds it hard to believe

That the lead is long and life’s so long

The Alsatian dog has been dreaming of Mumbai

Reckons he’d look swell all lit up on the silver screen

A juggernaut crashes into the lexicon

A juggernaut crashes into a bungalow, too

And he says

«You can’t define me

Try as you might to pin me down

If I lose my tongue for some reason

I’ll still be spoken all over town

«I'm going to give you some offspring

That’s what I’m going to do

But don’t you dare think for one minute

That they’ll look like me, or they’ll sound like you»

Because the lead is long and life’s so long

What does he eat?

Dog food or oyster sauce

Millefeuille off the kitchen floor

Plastic or kerosene

Toast, jam, margarine

Rare breeds or poppy seeds

A peace pipe found amongst the weeds

No time for the Saxon beast

What does he eat?

The French meats

Venison, beef, pork, venison

Beef, pork, venison, beef

Pork, venison, beef, pork

What does he use?

A knife, a fork, and language
