I have a sign upon my gate to warn about my mutt
And put a spring upon it to ensure it’s always shut.
Now he’s a pretty big boy imposing I would say
But really all his barking means he just wants to play.
Sure I know all us dog owners utter the same cry
“He’s really very friendly,” and “he wouldn’t hurt a fly.”
But I understand the panic when he shoots out through the door
At the fella with my parcel from the online mega store.
I’ve made a place to leave it, a well-placed plastic bin
So they can stay outside the gate, there’s no need to come on in
And a sign beside the other that tells them where it’s at
But this fella with my parcel has the eyesight of a bat.
The postman knows the set-up Yodel know the score
DHL and FedEx, don’t approach the door
But Amazon I wonder, can their driver really read
For they’re the only people who seem to take no heed.
So when my boy starts barking and it’s going on and on
I know I’ve had a parcel left from ****** Amazon.
