Dog’s life for Me It’s a Dog’s Life For Me I’d like to come back In my next life As a dog A dog’s only worry is its next meal All it has to do Is wag its tail And look cute And someone will feed him And give him water A dog has no worries No cares at all And when a Dog Wants some loving All it needs to do Is find the nearest Female dog And enjoy himself Without guilt And without worrying About getting married Or having an affair Just simple Sex in the doggie way Nothing simpler than that Yes, A dog’s life Is the life for me ### the dogs of war are howling The Dogs of War Have been set free Of their cage and are out Howling at the moon The Dogs of War Have been set free to wreck what havoc Might be Yes, the Dogs of War The Hell Hounds Have bound out of their cages Sniffed about And smiled At the destruction, they saw They knew soon They would be in their element As the world descends into chaos The world saw The face of pure evil that fine September morning A morning like any other morning Until a fateful moment When two planes came out of the sky And destroyed The center of world capitalism In an act of horrific violence An act of such evil That is beyond the comprehension Of mere mortal man Surely there must Be a reason why That particular day The world almost ended The Dogs of war Are at foot The chaos is upon us The evil grows and grows And dark noises are heard Here and there A Jehad had been launched By the holly lunatics Misguided warriors Who thought they were fighting The great Satan Not knowing that their hearts and minds Were corrupted and controlled By Satan himself Somewhere in the world that morning A door opened and a man walked through Flipped a switch And let loose The chaos that ensured The world watched with horror And fascination As in real time A dynamite action movie unfolded Only this was no movie, punk It was the real deal, Mr. McNeal Live and uncensored With the music of the devil Playing at full volume As people died Burning alive And the dogs of war Smiled They knew soon They would be in their element As America The Sleeping Giant Again woke up And realized that they would have to fight back Against their enemies The war machine Came to life The plans came out of the books The military might was unleashed And the Dogs of war Smiled and howled at the moon The machinery of war Once unleashed Can’t easily be stopped There is a certain cruel logic That demands that the war go on And people die And people suffer And the stock market crashes And the evil that men do Goes on and on and on ### The Cosmic Dog from Goa My final time with God Happened a year latter I was staying down in Goa With my wife Enjoying being with her After our reconciliation We stayed at the Taj Mahal Goa Living like Kings and Queen Just for a few day High up on a hill Overlooking the beach Every morning I went down to the beach And did yoga by the water While contemplating life And every morning I saw the same dog Not just a dog But a cosmic dog Filled with the divine spark of God And the dog recognized me And spoke to me and I knew That God was present once more In the face of the that cosmic dog Kindred spirit perhaps to the cosmic cat that had saved my soul In Berkeley so long ago I told the dog everything And he just looked at me With those soulful eyes of his and I knew he knew that I knew that he was possessed by God God had sent him to me To make sure that I was on the right path That the reconciliation that God had promoted Was on the track that I was back with my wife And that everything was the way it should be Again I asked God the cosmic dog whether he was Jesus or Allah Or Brahmin or Ganesh or Buddha God the cosmic dog just stared at me I finally asked him directly Say if you are God the God of Jesus Bark once The Dog looked at me and barked I said well if you are Allah bark twice The dog barked twice Well are you buddha then bark three times if yes The god dog barked three times Hmm well are you Satan The dog growled at me And I knew I had gone too far Finally, I was at peace and for the next three days The God Dog was my constant companion And I knew God Was there in my life ### Agnostic Dyslectic Wonders if There is a Dog an agnostic dyslectic stays up all night wondering if there is a dog the Buddhists wonder about the Buddha nature of the dog the evangelicals are sure that there is a dog and you must follow their dog or go to hell for following another’s dog the Muslims agree there is only one dog and the dogs smile at the foolishness of the human race of course, there is a dog and they are the master race as they growl at their owners who bow down and clean up their mess ### I Want a Dog’s Life I want a dog’s life That’s what I want in my next life All a Dog needs to do is be cute And his master will feed him It is a dog’s life for me ### The Messenger Dog of God One day While studying in Rome As a priest I notice a small white dog Staring at me He glances at me Indicating that I am to follow him I get up And follow this strange dog He leads me deep Inside the hidden depths Of the Vatican Finally stopping by a door I open the door And see St Peter there He smiles Dismisses the dog Who moves on down the hall Finished with his cosmic duty As the secret messenger of God All in a day’s work I ask, “ why am I here?” St Peter says “Why are any of us here? It is time for you to go.” “ But, I don’t want to go Don’t want to leave this mortal plane” St Peter smiles Says” it is time to go.” I wake up Back in my bed With my wife And realize it was all a dream It was not yet time To go But I am afraid I will find the messenger dog Outside my door Any day now The grim reaper waits And it will soon be my time |
