The Sleeping Sentry

If he was in the army he'd be shot... but hes not!!!

::: The Sleeping Sentry

The dog sleeping on the doorstep
Keeps the cats away
For they cant enter while hes there
And upone the couches play.

So to torment birds the cat set
And to slink around the garden
Maybe climb through an open window
Without as much as “beg your pardon”

The dog sleeping on the doorstep
Who tries to keep cats out
Fails when windows are open
To stop the moggies from sneaking about!
