Dead Dogs

A bag of fleas Comes home with me No testicles Good company Tired racer Off the track Sofa king Of taking naps I give him treats We go on walks Peas in a pod All cares forgot Day by day His face turns white But I don't want My friend to die He kept me safe He kept me warm He helped me Brave whatever storm I don't want harps Or pearly thrones Just send me where the Dead dogs go He kept me safe He kept me warm I owe a debt To canine form So if I die While I'm asleep Give the dogs My bones to keep My furry friend Dead at my feet Won't fetch a toy Or bark at me Nestled soft in Dirt and clay Apple sapling Future shade Tangled in To snaking roots His body feeds The growing fruit Ripened now at Harvest end I try a bite And I miss a friend He kept me safe He kept me warm He helped me Brave whatever storm I don't want harps Or pearly thrones Just send me where the Dead dogs go He kept me safe He kept me warm I owe a debt To canine form So if I die While I'm asleep Give the dogs My bones to keep
