A Dog's Chance (Love Trilogy Part 2)


Inspired by Tim Minchin's "If I Didn't Have You (someone else would do)"



 

A Dog’s Chance

 

Of all the vet clinics in all the world

In you walked, our futures unfurled

Not just a shaggy dog story

 

What were the odds you’d be the one

Not just some horizontal fun

The soul mate I cannot live without

 

If by some chance Spike had not

Developed that big crusty spot

Or you couldn’t get an appointment

 

If our eyes hadn’t met over his crusty skin

Or you preferred a vet better looking and thin

With more interesting chat

 

What’s the chance my Hippocratic oath alone

Stood between me and the dog and bone

Nervously I rolled the dice

 

Or if you’d not lifted the phone at all

Assuming I was just a nuisance call

Thinking I must report that

 

Or if you considered it odd as I talked

The vet never phones, I’m being stalked

What is he really up to?

 

Or if I hadn’t ended up at all in Fife

Had a completely different life

As a marine zoologist

 

Sailing the world with an exotic cutie

A dusky golden Amazonian beauty

A naturist who likes rugby and darts………..

 

But if I’d lost out in life’s coin toss

And fate hadn’t aligned our paths to cross

How poorer my life would be
