Laurie was my dog <br />And he loved to bite <br />He wasn't very clever <br />And not at all bright. <br />He didn't like my friend <br />A mad poet called Fred <br />One day Laurie bit him <br />On the back of his head. <br />Fred wasn't at all pleased <br />And bit my dog back <br />So Laurie retaliated <br />And went on the attack. <br />They wrestled on the floor <br />And Fred got bit a lot <br />So to get my dog off him <br />I hit the mutt with a flowerpot. <br />But Laurie was very tough <br />And the pot bounced off his head <br />Then poor old Fred stopped moving <br />In fact he was now Dead. <br />I didn't know what to do <br />The poet didn't deserve to die <br />Looking down at Laurie <br />I asked this crazy dog Why? <br />But he just didn't care <br />And kept chewing at Fred <br />This loony dog was eating him <br />The he swallowed dead Fred's head. <br />Poor Fred was now all gone <br />But this must have been his fate <br />To lose his life to a psycho dog <br />The poet Laurie ate.<br /><br />Kevin Halls<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-poet-laurie-ate/
