I live on the lap of my daddy
for most of the length of the day,
I am a canine barnacle –
in a doggy kind of way;
My name is Poppy Sweet P. Brown
my daddy calls me ‘kid, ‘
but I tolerate this insolence
and never flip my lid;
for this would only culminate
In having then to move,
to lose my comfortable spot
where I was in the groove.
You see, I’m a lady of leisure
and have no need to stray
all wants are set before me
throughout the laze-long day.
I move, but very seldom,
with water-bowl close by,
likewise my food and toys and such,
I never need to try;
apart from toileting of course,
then to my pad I’ll toddle,
My name is Poppy Sweet P. Brown –
It should be Molly Coddle.
