Relations

I'd rather have my belly scratched
and lose a little on the side.
I'd rather have my paw to tap,
my ear, so scratched, my guide.
I'd rather be a sucker and purr
than stare death from my eyes.
I don't mind if you take sometimes,
because you've read the sign.
In white on read it clearly states,
"beware of dog, he bites."
Have some, test it, before I do,
with me that's all alright.
Have me have a go, I don't mind.
Afterall, it is just a friendly try.
Scruples and palettes differ,
the argument never lies,
weight by measure or measure by
weight the game comes to the eyes.
Do what you will and decide what you want
but, beware of the dog,
he bites.
