Terrible Thing
That vicious black dog
Has attacked me again
It was lying in wait,
I just didn't know when
The storm clouds rolled in
The weatherman couldn't predict it
I gotta wait for the storm to pass
Until then I'll feel melancholic
Grumpy gray skies
Will haunt me all my life
And terrible black dogs
Will always cause me strife
I can call animal control
And lock the dog away
Or I can move somewhere
That the sun will always stay
But dogs get loose
And reek havoc all the same
And no place can survive
Without a little rain
But rain comes in torrents
And rabid dogs come charging
It's an inescapable part of life
That renders me to barging
This terrible thing
Happens time and time again
But it can never be predicted
Exactly when
But life still goes on
As all storms will pass
The dog may be biting,
But things can change fast
Sunny skies are waiting
With flowers blooming abundant
All these bad times will be fading
And happiness will ensue
