I sit cautiously on my perch
Intent on my endless search
For intruders in my home
My keen eyes constantly roam
I inspire fear à la big cat
I swat my enemy like a gnat
Lesser ones flee on sight
Out of bona fide fright

Yesterday as I lay there
I had a humungous scare
Two adults walked right in
Raising the hair on my chin
Sheepishly I walked down
Lionheart nowhere around
All my courage for naught
Fearlessness completely shot
Oh the smell was totally known
My mind was completely blown
I could not believe my eyes and nose
At who had arrived as I froze

Grandma and grandpa as a pair
Walked right out of thin air
Haven't seen them in months
Now they were right in front
I went berserk for sure
My troubles finally had a cure
So fun to have them around
A perfect gift for this hound
I will shower them with love
Look longingly and cuddle up
I will manipulate them with no end
To my charm they shall bend
