~~~~

I wait on the floor
In case some food might fall here.
I am ready now.

~~~~

I sound the alarm!
Paperboy come to kill us!
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!

~~~~

I must go out now!
There are crows to be chased.
I will keep us safe.

~~~~

I sound the alarm!
Mailman Fiend come to kill us!
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!

~~~~

When will you get up?
It is almost six o'clock!
The sun will rise soon.

~~~~

I sound the alarm!
Meter man come to kill us!
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!

~~~~

I am your best friend,
Now, always. Especially,
When you are eating.

~~~~


I sound the alarm!
Garbage man come to kill us!
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!

~~~~

Where are you going?
I think you go to the park,
And leave me behind.

~~~~


I sound the alarm!
Cat next door come to kill us!
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!

~~~~


I ride in the car.
I will bark at other dogs.
They must know I rule.

~~~~


I run to the lake.
The water is icy cold.
I meant to do that.

~~~~

Put down that sausage.
Let it fall onto the floor.
I will see to it.

~~~~
