He's just swallowed a bottle top
Somebody said
and pound signs or euros
just flashed through my head.
-------------------------
I thought to myself
this ain't gonna be cheap
It'll probably consume
my beer money for the week.
-----------------------
But he's a wonderful lad
and deserve'd of best
perhaps some medicine
and comfort and rest.
-----------------------
So we watched him and watched him
with eyes like a hawk
advice from the Internet
we certainly sought
-----------------------
He was sick for a couple
then good for three days
but life went on normal
in so many ways.
--------------------------
Then someone said
"My dog does that too "
and we began to think
twas natural thing to do.
-----------------------
But several weeks later
he was starting to fret
so next on the agenda
was a trip to the vet.
-----------------------
They soon confirmed with the help of X ray
"Oh yes there's a top in his tum "
but with the help of hostpital endoscopy team
tomorrow a result would come.
---------------------------
We left early the next day for Portimao
were the pets hostpital was found
and left the lad
with a capable team
who jiggeried and pockeried around.
--------------------------------
Now I know vet fees are expensive
and the bill was eye wateringly dear
but the thing that really upset me most??
I didn't get to drink the ruddy beer.
