I've Only Had One In Dog Beers*
By Joe Pivetti

After a painful morning jog I went in for a pint Just a dog bite A hair of the dog I brightened like a fog dog at the site As it settled nicely with a stiff white collar Into the glass, like a dogmatized vicar On the bar was a damp dog-eared rag Some say the paper is gospel I think it's doggerel Just political dog-legs and dog-carts going 'round For the chance at gaining a pound (But I am no lucky dog to win the mother-lode And it's a dog age since my pony even showed) Well fed and well read I head off to dog paddle My way through city hell Fleeing and dogged from onus and by dread. But soon I come to my dogtoothed steeple Where I work a dogwatch for the people And shake my daily hangdog spell. Two hours hence I hie and pray, Dogs barking, as I make my way To the dogface dining lair For a salty serving of free seadog fair. Then three more watch dog stints Where it's dog eat dog and I'm dog-tired ...it's a dog's life and I mean to win it. *Thanks to Walt Ponczocha for dog beers inspiration
