In dogs years I’m dead!

I can’t multiply numbers with seven above eleven in my head (I can’t)

But when I calculated my age in dog years, the figured said I’d already be dead (yep!)

Three hundred plus years is more than three lifetimes (whoa!)

I gotta switch up my diet from Alpo to Iams (yep!)

Schedule some annual check-ups and exercise often

So I can delay, my inevitable stay, in a ~31 cubic foot coffin (bars!) 

I fill that space often, in my SUV, whenever I go shopping 

Now whenever I retrieve bags or my groceries 

All of these material possessions, are no longer reasons to boast for me (Nope!)

 

In dogs years I’m dead (panting)

In dogs years I’m dead (Woof!)

I said - in dogs years I’m dead (What?)

In dogs years I’m dead (huh huh)!

 

Man’s best friend

Remains loyal until the end

They arrive and leave so fast

Cyclical seasons, growing and dying, time and again like grass

Our expiration dates vary

‘Cuz all of the love, pain, and hate that we carry

Can extend or shorten our time left in this life

So be kind to your parents, siblings, kids, family, friends, and especially your husband or wife!

 

In dogs years I’m dead (panting)

In dogs years I’m dead (Woof!)

I said - in dogs years I’m dead (What?)

In dogs years I’m dead (huh huh)!

 

I felt my ticker start to flicker

Repainting faded pictures ‘till my fingers start to blister (blister)

You betta' call yo’ brother, remember to text yo' sister (hello!)

Cuz yo’ flame is just a ember

And your voice is but a whisper

Your time is nigh see?

Soon you might die my G! (RIP!)

 

In dogs years I’m dead (panting)

In dogs years I’m dead (What?)

I said - in dogs years I’m dead (Woof!)

In dogs years I’m dead (huh huh)

Wow! Took out my calculator and discovered that I've been the "walking dead" twice as long as you're in your dog years. On each of the 4 times a night this Old Dog "gots" to be releived, the first thing he says when he wakes up is, "Thank you, Jesus!" Great share. Thanks. Peace and Love.
