The Unneighborly Judge

There once was a dog in Sioux City

Was on trial with a judge with no pity

His jury of peers

Confirmed all his fears

He could pray, but it doesn’t look pretty

He was known as a mutt that’s unkind

Would harass every critter he’d find

But it wasn’t quite that

That started the spat

‘Twas his nose up his neighbor’s behind

He has peed on most all of these “peers”

Now he’s crying big crocodile tears

He got less than twenty

But way more than plenty

He’s just hoping the time is “dog years”

It’s his neighbor that took him to court

So this neighbor he tried to extort

This made it much worse

And made the judge curse

To the dog pound he’ll have to report

See, his neighbor was holding a grudge

Too hard-headed or willing to budge

If doing the crime

You’re doing the time

But for sure when your neighbor’s the judge
