And who want to come in and, once in, to go out.
Whenever I settle to read by the fire,
some dog will develop an urge to retire,
and I'm constantly opening and shutting the door
for a dog to depart or as mentioned before,
for a dog to arrive, who, politely admitted,
will make a bee-line for the chair I've just quitted.
Our friends may be dumb, but my house is a riot,
where I can sit still and can never be quiet.")
