I ran along the yellow sand

and made the sea gulls fly

I chased them down the waters edge

I chased them up the sky

I ran so hard I ran so fast

I left the spray behind

I chased the flying flecks of foam

and i outran the wind

An airplane sailing overhead

climbed when it heard me bark

I yelped and leapt right at the sun

until the sky grew dark

Some little children on the beach

threw sticks and ran with me

Oh master let us go again

and play beside the sea

God made seas to play beside

and rugs to cover dogs

God made cars for holidays

and beetles under logs

God made kitchens so there'd be

dinners to eat and scraps

God made beds so pups could crawl

under them for naps

God made license numbers so they’d find

lost pups and bring them home

God made garbage buckets too

to pry in when you roam

God made tennis shoes to chew

and here and there a hat

but I cant see why god should make

Mehitabel the cat

After I ate my dinner then I ate

part of a shoe

I found some archies by a bathroom pipe

and ate them too

I ate some glue

I ate a bone that had got nice and ripe

six weeks buried in the ground

I ate a little mousie that I found

I ate some sawdust from the cellar floor

it tasted sweet

I ate some outcast meat

and some roach paste by the pantry door

and then the missis had some folks to tea

nice folks who petted me

and so I ate

cakes from a plate

I ate some polish that they use

for books and shoes

and then I went back to the missis swell tea party

I guess I must have eat too hearty

of something maybe cake

for then came the earthquake

you should have seen the missis face

and when the boss came in she said

no wonder that dog hangs his head

he knows he’s a disgrace

I am a well intentioned little pup

but sometimes things come up

to get a little dog in bad

and now I feel so very very sad

but the boss said never mind old scout

time wears disgraces out

Pete the Pup

This, That and Another
