The Lancean Specificity
Simply Because
Big dogs are stepping out in the out of doors
Large dogs on the town maybe one of them yours
Trotting right along as graceful as you please
Tippi tippi tip on tapered pointing feet
Tails like banners bobbing brightly on the breeze
Sniffing and sneezing should they happen to meet
And bark bark bark as they party in the park!
Those large dogs on those streets these big dogs on these
All over the city stepping out tonight
Out to taste the air of an evening in spring
Smiling with their tongues out because it feels right
Tippi tippi tip and a clicking of claws
Toes tapping out happy-ever-aftering
And woof woof woof as they dance up on the roof!
All the big dogs from distinguished to funny
Find a night like this to be too good to miss
It might have something to do with the weather
Especially now it is so balmy here
Temperature might be a factor whether
The night feels right after day bright and sunny
And bow wow wow they are barbecuing now!
Large dogs looked forward to an evening so clear
Some sporting sweaters all slipping their fetters
The best dogs because good dogs know no betters
And where are they trotting? I cannot say where
But they cannot either not till they get there
And why are they stepping out? Simply because
But is my tale of tails true ? ...I wish it was!
