What's wrong with you humans? You have water in your eyes! Stop that!? Please don't cry not with those basset hound eyes. Don't look at me like that with those droopy eyes! Don't worry about me I'll be fine just... don't look at me with those... basset hound eyes. Do you remember the good old days? Where I clang my dish bowl every single day or the time we took long walks around the neighborhood as the neighbors smiled and began to talk. Do you remember, when I was attacked by a hawk and y'all came to rescue me ? I was so in pain that I couldn't even talk I could've died, but I didn't Didn't I? Therefore y'all shouldn't cry not with those basset hound eyes. These memories will never die and neither will mine. God knows that it's time So please don't cry not with those basset hound eyes. Before I leave promise me that all of you will never forget me. This is a way of life and I must go now It's my...time. Therefore y'all shouldn't cry *not with those... basset...houn...hound eyes.* **I love y'all and let God be your guide. Don't worry I will always be by your side**

Basset Hound Eyes
Here you go again getting on about talking...talking... Talking about that townhouse. *I felt like a caged mouse there's a way in, but... no way out.* Blood stained walls Cracked floors Should I say more!? Creepy neighbors Meddling bugs Enough, now hush! **Why the townhouse?! Why the townhouse?!** Just why? Thinking about that house gives me nightmares don't you want our family safe? Do you even care? A townhouse where a husband and wife wish for more money and not enjoying life where the children are spoiled rotten and they cry all the time. So stop mentioning that townhouse one more word and you are out Where we are now is perfectly fine don't say it again don't waste my time. *I'll stay and live here because I'm nourished You can go out there as I watch you... flourish...back into the townhouse.*
