IT'S THE PUPPY IN ME

You should be on your mat,

When your mum is getting tea,

But I creep right up behind her

And she stumbles over me.

When the doorbell rings,

You should sit and calmly wait.

So I barge right past them all

And I’m heading for the gate.

You can’t walk through the garden,

You’ll flatten all the plants,

So I jump right in the centre

And begin my little dance.

When you are out walking

The duck poo you should leave it,

So I gobble it all up

And on the carpet I do heave it.

I like to push the boundaries,

Just to see how far I’ll get,

I know I should be really good,

But I’m not grown up yet!
