Dogs

one dog buries a bone

and then the other dog digs it up

and finds a prize in store

one dog dies and the other dogs

go dig him up a tomb with his name inscribed



and there on his tombstone carved so bold

the words are clear and strong

it says:



this one is for the eyes

for the eyes of the other dogs who come

it's for the eyes of the other dogs to come



one man digs a hole while another man shovels dirt

inside another hole

one man says hello while another one is leaving

on a long journey to a place he'll return



and there on his tombstone carved so bold

the words are clear and strong

it says:



this one is for the eyes

for the eyes of the other dogs who come

it's for the eyes of the other dogs to come



every entrance has an exit

and every doorknob has a twist

i wonder what my face looked like

before it looked like this?



and there on his tombstone carved so bold

the words are clear and strong

it says:



this one is for the eyes

for the eyes of the other dogs who come

it's for the eyes of the other dogs to come
