When our waitress discovered how much we enjoyed this poem, she told us that there were more doggy Christmas things underneath some of the other tabletops. And a little while later, she pointed out this one to us (sung to the tune of “Winter Wonderland"):
DOGGY WONDERLAND (unknown songwriter)
Dog tags ring, are you listenin'?
In the lane, snow is glistenin'.
It’s yellow, NOT white - I’ve been there tonight,
Marking up my winter wonderland.
-
Smell that tree? That’s my fragrance.
It’s a sign for wand’ring vagrants;
"Avoid where I pee, it’s MY pro-per-ty!
Marked up as my winter wonderland."
-
In the meadow dad will build a snowman,
following the classical design.
Then I’ll lift my leg and let it go Man,
So all the world will know it’s mine-mine-mine!
-
Straight from me to the fencepost,
flows my natural incense boast;
"Stay off of my TURF, this small piece of earth,
I mark it as my winter wonderland.
