A dog needs to know
His place now, ya hear
Don't need to be wandering
Like them cur, mangy
yellow big dogs
Looking for any piece of meat
Settling for any ***** in heat

Stay at home old Blue, let thee
Not wander, broad unlit streets
Wandering all out, in and through
Those fogged, fading, moonlit nights
Searching for pretty, yet untrue, light

I see thee quite often
With thee fed and bed
more often than me
With me at times, only offered
Just a wee bit of butter on old bread

Stay in your own big little yard
With green grass, as all and me
Know really, in fact, it is not
Greener over there, until we all
Reach the wilder, other side

Water, board, and room are really
Nearly all free, to partially quench,
unquenched thirst, to still roam
Just stay always, with your
Lovely *****, at your sweet home
