A Funny Dog Poem for Kids

My dog lives on the sofa.

That's where he wants to be.

He likes to sit there night and day

and watch what's on TV.

He surfs the channels constantly

by chewing the remote,

then watches what he wants to watch;

I never get a vote.

He's fond of films with animals.

He takes in nature shows.

Whenever cat cartoons come on

he always watches those.

He loves the pet commercials too,

and anything with food.

Whenever there's a tennis match

he nearly comes unglued.

I got him from the dog pound.

He didn't cost a cent.

I asked them for a "watch dog,"

but this isn't what I meant.
