Watch me, on the edge of town,
Watch my toothless grin,
Life is an unfair game for me,
There is not a chance I'll win.

Watch me, on my hind legs,
Watch my eyes as I jump,
My owner thinks nothing of me,
I'm just a needy lump.

Watch me, as I yelp so loud,
Watch my broken jaw,
Through my nose is a rope,
And it always rubs me raw.

Watch me, as I entertain you,
Watch my submissive stance,
My mother was shot when I was a cub,
So you could see me dance.

I watch you, as you clap for me,
Watch you as you cheer,
My body grows thinner and thinner and thinner,
I'll be dead next year.

(Ugh, the second verse doesn't really work. A short poem for my new character, help him choose a name here!)
