On his blog my dog
Writes about animal rights:
We animals, says my dog,
Should be safe from rain, heat or fog;
We should be well-fed with the best milk and the
best bread;
We should work no more than we were made for:
It’s not because a donkey doesn’t complain
That he doesn’t feel the pain;
Nay, even a donkey can be weak:
So let him work no more than thirty-five hours a
week,
And for extra hours give him showers of praise
And showers of food, not showers of blows wherever
he goes !
A camel, too, cannot always do
Whatever man wants him to do.
Camels should not be used as «animal shields»
To clear humans’ minefields,
And for the crazy efforts they make
They shouldn’t be fed with pieces of cake
But with the best that the best land yields.
If a dog’s master goes biking in the morning,
Then the master must not ride faster
Than the dog, or else we’ll name and shame him on
the blog!
There should be no less than a bitch
For every five dogs, if not one for each!
There should be no less than a coq
For every seven hens, or at least one for every
ten!
It’s a great shock for thirty ewes
To wait their turn for a single ram
That is prone to spurn anyone with a lamb.
We animals have dignity, and it’s beneath man’s
dignity
To make jokes and cartoons about us.
Don’t we work for those folks who make jokes
about us?
Is it because man doesn’t respect human rights
That he wouldn’t care about animal rights?
But, nay, I, Poet’s Dog, have created this blog
to be the watchdog.
