The dog ate my homework
just like it was kibble.

He started up slow
with a cute little nibble
and then scarfed it down
with a burp and a snort.

How was he to know
that my special report
was due here this morning
precisely at 8:00.

So now it is eaten.
I'm sorry it's late.

But what can you do
when your dog needs a snack
and your stapled report
comes under attack?

I told him to stop
but he just wouldn't mind.
When my dog is hungry,
he's not very kind.

I'll bring it tomorrow,
and you'll see it then.
So long as my dog
isn't hungry again
