The Dog.

Being afraid of dogs 

 I rear not one

 my son wanted one

 had to oblige 

 he soon left home 

 the dog had to be looked after

 I am so afraid as all that 

 I run away when I see him

 he runs behind me as fast 

he and I have a race 

 i jump on to the steps 

 lock the door 

 he is left behind

 the way I took care of the dog.
