10 seconds
one, two
what could you do
three, four
besides ignore
already five
half alive
pause, paws
can we stop here?
don’t reach ten
he’s filled with fear
you’ve reached six
sick, twisted tricks
and now number seven
do all dogs go to heaven?
eight, nine
out of time
cause every time
you count to
ten
another dog’s
abused again.
