After those first years, they took him in for a second term and now he barks a lot more Okay, we're not unwilling neighbours and throw him a ball Oh dear, he already has it and with a lot of noise, he forces us to give in to him again He gets bored easily and can't stand being ignored, so we take turns dressing up in our best clothes to serve as ball boys In between, the dog bites a few people on the legs and poops wherever he pleases
