Led Astray

it’s a dog’s life with lead attached
I had it tracked in the mind
she coming along just for the ride
for me, vacuum nose full-on
hoot-scoot to the show-room door
for the sports model and the sun-roof
she only seeing her pretty colours
not giving one whiff-sniff
and I would have made it purple
it’s a dog’s life
always being led away –
but at least there’s food in the bowl
