The “I Quit!” Song
Sung to the tune “The Twelve Days of Christmas”
By the time she was a year old, my doggie gave to me,
a litter
in a basket.
After two years together, my doggies gave to me,
12 spotted pups
and a
litter in a basket.
After three years together, my doggies gave to me,
36 mutts, 12 spotted pups,
and a
litter in a basket.
After four years together, my doggies gave to me,
108 hounds, 36 mutts, 12 spotted pups,
and a
litter in a basket.
After five years together, my doggies gave to me,
324 tails a-wagging, 108 hounds, 36 mutts, 12 spotted
pups,
and a
litter in a basket.
After six years together, my doggies gave to me,
972 dogs a-barking, 324 tails
a-wagging,
108 hounds, 36 mutts, 12 spotted pups,
and a
litter in a basket.
Next time I’ll spay, so my dogs won’t give me 2,916
pups a-yipping
972 dogs a-barking, 324 tails
a-wagging,
108 hounds, 36 mutts, 12 spotted pups,
and a
litter in a basket.
I QUIT!
