BEWARE OF THE DOG

Whether you’ve arrived here, by bicycle or car,
Whether you are local, or have travelled from afar,
The fact remains the same, dear friend, you’ll end up in a pickle,
If you don’t stop to chat awhile, and give my dog a tickle!

Now you may be a neighbour, or a postie with a letter,
Either way, do as I say, it really would be better,
And please take note, all ne’er do wells, with intentions not good,
If you ignore his pleading eyes, he’ll wake the neighbourhood!

And if you are a GP, who is visiting the sick,
Best bring some sanitiser, for your hands he’s sure to lick,
But have no fear, though he’s enclosed, within a garden gated,
He’ll not pass on canine disease, he’s fully vaccinated!
