The Slippery Black Lab

Barkley has few bad habits, the primary one being stealing soft footware and undies (as frequent visitors Miss D and Midwest Chick can tell you).  Leave something on the floor while you're gone, slippers you  kicked under the console while watching Dr. Who the night before, tennis shoes by the back door, he won't touch them.  Until there is someone to watch (or it's 4 am and you have to go to work and you're running late) 

So, for  my readers over 50 (including my good friend Guffaw in AZ) who may remember a show from the 60's about a dophin,(and those younger who saw it in syndication) my apology for the earworm. 

 

He's got her slipper, slipper, faster than lightning,
Now you can see, he's smarter than she
And we know slipper, is dropped in a blunder
to lie there-under, under the TV

Everyone loves the king of the fleas,
Ever so kind and gentle is he,
Tricks he will do when footwear appears
And how they give chase when he's near!

He's got her slipper, slipper,  faster than lightning,
now you can see, he's smarter than she
And we know slipper, is dropped in a blunder

to lie there-under, under the TV!
