Manual for first time pet owners
by @gordon
Liner Notes
Lyrics
Affection comes in many forms
Barking in an upbeat way
Wagging tails and panting
Expressing what they cannot say
With longing looks to go outside
Guilt trips so easily applied
Dissatisfaction can be indicated
By baring of teeth
Snarling or growling
Under extreme circumstances
Teeth may be used
Just to emphasise the point
The emotions of their rivals, are easier to assess
Contentment just a simple purr
They are masters of survival
Oh just leave me, I’m sleeping
I don’t like the friends you’re keeping
I’ll not bother with a greeting
When it’s time for food
Motivations are understood
Highlight of the day
A good reason to stay
Some owners have pets
Some pets have their servants

>With longing looks to go outside
>Guilt trips so easily applied
Well-put. And a nice sombre vibe!
You have me I'm wondering what this might sound like played with an upbeat gallop – it might serve comedic observations like
>Some owners have pets
>Some pets have their servants
even better.
