DOG IN A PRAM

My dog Rocky, is small, white and stoky,
his head, is as high as my knees.
His eyes are brown, his head, a white crown,
with a dark nose and no fleas.
I dress him up in my dollies clothes,
a pink hat, sunglasses and a shirt,
I sit him in my pram,
with orders not to scram, but,
I turn, freedom, he jumps in the dirt.
The chase is on around the house
but, he can hardly run,
back you go, we have to show,
that dressing up is fun.
I show him off to all my friends,
they think he looks so cute.
They, ah and laugh and drive his pram, right into the dirt.
