Augie and his doggy

This poem is about Augie

Who wanted to own a doggy

His friends said he was crazy 

Told him he's much too lazy

 

They said 'Augie, you're a big talker 

You like to talk a lot

If you own a dog, you need to walk him

You're too lazy, you will not'

 

Augie didn't let what his friends say discourage him

As a matter of fact, it encouraged him 

He told them 'When I tell you this, your eyebrows will arch

Not only will I take my dog for a walk, I'll take him for a march!'

 

What about you? Did your eyebrows arch?

Are you wondering, did Augie ever make a dog march?

He got a dog a week ago yesterday 

You don't have to be a genius to know that's April, ok?

 

So far, the dog ain't marched yet 

But I need to remind you, don't forget 

Augie didn't get that dog till April

April's after March, that's a sure bet!

 

He May March in June since he won't in April

Unless it'll be July, not July, by August he will

How could he March in August? Who said? Have tea to spill?

Augie said! Said of his doggy..what? Aug he March! He will!
