Dog Slavery Is On The Rise
Poor Bobby has to do his chores before walkies
Dog Slavary On The Rise
Stood on a chair like a four legged maid
red cap on tight, and my dignity frayed
a sponge in paw, suds up to my nose
scrubbing plates while they sit and scroll
I barked for a walk, they said not just yet
“Do the dishes, then you’ll get your sweat”
pet extortion, that’s what this is
I’m the dog, not staff at The Ritz
They call it love, I call it a crime
forced to clean just to earn my time
with leash in sight, they sit and cheer
while I polish forks and rinse off beer
This is cruelty, plain and raw
someone call PETA, enforce the law
but no one listens, I just obey
tail still wagging, betrayed but brave
So here I scrub, like a loyal fool
dreaming of mud and a splash in the pool
but mark my words, when I get that lead
I’m dragging them straight through every weed
What do you think? isn’t this disgusting, poor little lad. All those In favour of a petition say yes …..this can not go on in 2026 poor wee doggies

I absolutely love this poem, thankyou for sharing xx
Great poem. Loved the phrase 'sponge in paw'.
Exactly and not dog should be treated badly. Good job.
Anything to end doggy cruelty. Love the image, very clever. I don't think my little dogs would ever do the dishes, not that I would ask them to. They would look at them and look at me and then "say, hey, you forgot to do the dishes, mate!" 😊😊
