My Sweet Puppy, Brutus


My dog is big, my dog is strong.
His tail is short and his ears are long.


I left him home to protect my house,
From robbers, vandals, or even a mouse.


I went away on a week long trip,
I told no one, not once did I slip.


But I did say that Brutus was there,
Would I be robbed? No one would dare!


Brutus Rottweiler, has such a sweet look,
I posted his picture on facebook.


No one believed I had gotten a dog.
Friends, "Post pics." Then they were all agog!


They - "He's so cute!" "We're so happy!"
Me - "Doesn't look like a stone-cold killer, does he?"


I think I sufficiently scared any hackers,
Who troll facebook because they're slackers


Just looking for an easy mark,
They'd think twice, when they heard Brutus bark!


He's just the best dog there ever was,
And the reason is, well because...


Brutus you see, he isn't real.
I know everyones yelling, "What's the deal!"


Its just that I was afraid to go away
And leave my home for more than a day,


All empty with no one to guard it,
I told a little white lie, I admit it.


I may have gotten a bit carried away,
So when I got home, on facebook one day,


I confessed and said, "Brutus isn't real."
Man, you should have heard them squeal!


Well let them be mad, let them unfriend.
If they're not careful, I just might send,


My Brutus to visit and see how they feel...
Oh wait. I forgot, he isn't real.
