yeah yeah
why
what are you doing here
shift your bones old woman
who asked you along anyway
my space
go away
don’t come back
bet you can’t bark as loud as me
I would have a go
but I came here for peace
and quiet
well you’re silent anyway
but where’s the peace
not here
not today
I might bite you
just see if I don’t
you’re a menace
the authorities should ban you
make this place for dogs only
humans
bah
