The Family Dog
The family's dog was bought as a guard,
Chained to a post in a chilly backyard,
Housed in a shed airless and dark,
Every few weeks had a run in the park.
When boredom set in with no fun and no work,
One day it broke loose and went quietly berserk
Pa couldn't fathom just why it went wild,
As it flattened his wife and then bit his child.
The police were called to sort out the mess,
And the whole sorry tale revealed by the press,
The Rescue Society was really annoyed,
So, the dog was rehomed--and the owners destroyed.
