Dirty dog!

Sitting on the sofa,
I'm having a ponder.
What's that smell!
It's coming from yonder.

I look across,
And what do I see,
I big smelly dog,
Looking at me.

A bath now is needed,
With soap and a hose,
Then perhaps you'll be kinder,
Upon my own nose.

To the garden we go,
To soap and to wash,
The water's so dirty,
Oh dear and oh gosh!

You now look quite clean,
I'll give you a hug.
Ewww, what's that stuck there,
Oh no, it's a slug!

I towel you quite dry
You don't seem too bright,
For to a dog,
Being clean is not right!

So, you smell now so sweet.
But how long will it last?
No, I think I can bet!
That you'll roll in the mud,
And get rather wet!
