The Dawg Doctor

(Click the play button to hear the poem.)

I'm the dawg doctor.
I fix dawgs.
I look in their eyes for motes,
I stare down their long dark throats,
Examine their furry coats,
Then I jot down some notes.
If they're feelin' hot,
I give 'em a shot.
If they're seein' lots a little dots,
I tell 'em what they gots.

I check 'em for tics and I comb 'em for fleas,
Make sure if you're bit, you don't get rabies.
I tap 'em on their knees, see if they sneeze.
And I check their pee-pee
To see if they have heebee-geebees.

So, if your dawg starts a-gaggin',
Or his tail stops a-waggin',
Or his chin starts a-saggin',
And his spirit starts a-flaggin',
Then call me.
I'm the dawg doctor.
I fix dawgs.
