Like a Pet Dog (to be sung to the tune of Madonna's 'Like a Virgin')
I made it through the winter months
Somehow I made it through
Didn't know how starved I was
Until I met you
I'd have eat-en my feet
I was thin
I was stealing from bins
But you gave me a meal
And it made me feel
Happy and full
Like a pet dog
Fed by a friendly human
Like a pet dog
When you serve me, food from a can
You gave me beef with biscuits
You gave me turkey and rice
Been sitting outside your door
I don't need calling twice
You're so kind
Will you mind..?
If I dig, up your plants and rocks
Cos I must confess...
I love to make a mess
I am still a fox
Not a pet dog....
I’m a freelance writer. My first children’s story The Problem with Mr Woolf – a twisted take on Little Red Riding Hood - was published by Bloomsbury in July 2018 in their anthology Once Upon a Fairytale: The Stories You Were Never Told. When not being a bad influence on children, you’ll find me blogging on Coronation Street, history, urban foxes and quite a lot in between.
