A PetSmart Experience

     It was just a typical Monday
My wife was off to work for the day
I’m off today but don’t forget to take
Buckeye to the vet I heard her say

His appointment is at eleven and
You might need a stool sample too
Now I’m barely awake and I realize
I actually have something to do

So I get up and get ready to go
I take Buckeye for a walk
I’m pretty sure he’s hip to what’s
Going down but I’m not gonna talk

He tucked his tail and resist idly
Hopped into the car to go
It’s funny, you can’t keep it from
Them they can sense it and they know

So we get there and there’s a big
Black dog making his voice heard
For a moment I felt I understood him
He was upset and it was so absurd

It was if he was saying, I hate you
For this and I’m tired of the lies
It’s gonna take more than a pup
Cup for you to apologize

You said we’re going bye bye
Just going for a ride, right
Now I’m pretty angry and I’m
Gonna be like this the rest of the night

This dog was going off and Buckeye
Looked at him like he was delirious
As if to say I’m not happy either but
We all have to have A PetSmart Experience
