My puppy named Samson a Dalmatian is he
Has an interesting tale just take it from me
Searching on Gumtree my mother found
A home selling puppies in a small little town
The house was old
and covered with mould
It smelt of cigarette smoke
Walking inside my parents thought that they were going to choke
Looking around they searched and found
Spotted puppies covering the ground
But there was one in the corner all alone
Wagging his tail and chewing a bone
So we took him home, yes, he’s caused some strife
But he’s still my Samson who’s changed my life.
