My (Troublesome) Dog

My dog is inconvenient,
He’s much more than disobedient.
Though I must say he’s rather resilient,
My dog is certainly not brilliant.

My mum says she just loathes him,
For all the dirt he spreads.
But my sis says she’s shamed of him
He keeps on nipping her breads!

My dog is inconvenient,
But there are times when he is not so inefficient.
When my dinner is disgusting,
My dog is rather entrusting!

My dog is inconvenient,
He’s much more than disobedient,
But once, once in a blue moon,
My dog is not such a goon.
