SUZIE
As I lay alone in the Kennels,
I reflect on the life I have had,
All the racing I have done,
but even though I won to them I was never number one
I was just a greyhound who was there to race,
Who chased that mechanical hare around the track,
I heard the cheers and also the sneers,
as they shouted at me and to my peers
I raced for five years straight
for longer than I really wanted to
I was glad to retire when I did
and they finially had their last bid
However, I had a sore infected leg
which was wrapped all up but not cleaned
I was glad when I finally could have it treated
I knew that I wasn't going to be defeated
My leg has now completely healed
As I lay alone in Kennels
You see I'm a black beauty called Susie
Why on why are people so choosy?
I've heard the wise dog say
You black beauties find it harder to get a home,
They see your black beautiful colour and say your plain,
They don't understand that we obviously don't show any stains!!
Than one day my life took a change
When a visitor came to look for a friend
I was taken out of my space
and met someone who had a place
We had a walk with a dog called PJ
And I liked him straight away
We walked up and down a lane,
and I hoped that they liked me plain!
After that walk I was put away
My heart sunk as they walked away
Surely that meant that it wasn't to be
that I'd never see them again as they obviously didn't like me.
But the next week held a surprise
those special people came back for me
when I saw them I ran to them
my heart felt light, they had came for me!!
Now my life is full of love
special meals of fish and meat
I now have plenty of walks
and what I love the most plenty of loving talk
As I lay on the sofa
I realise that one thing is true
My life is fantastic now.
and now I'd definitely be number one of them
