I found a dog that couldn’t bark
So I threw him in the swimming pool
So I took him to show my mate named Joe
So I tied him to an old gum tree
(Tony Chandler 2007).
When I was walking in the park
I dragged him home to show my Dad
He said “Oh boy that dog smells bad!”
(The dog, not Dad, you silly fool).
I dragged him out and he still stank
(Bits were left floating in the skimmer tank).
There’s nothing about dogs he doesn’t know.
He said “This dog stinks and has mangy fur
He’s a useless dog, don’t you concur?”
And sat and thought till it dawned on me
I realised I had been misled
And dogs can’t bark when they are dead!
