The day that Scruffy broke the chain, Suffice to say, we were impressed. Doug said to me, “That dog’s insane.” And yet we watched it in the rain, The poor housecat’s sudden duress, The day that Scruffy broke the chain; The freed dog tore off down the lane The cat’s escape plan was a mess Doug said to me, “That dog’s insane.” The pets both took a right on Main; My neighbors all seemed quite impressed The day that Scruffy broke the chain The cat was fast but light on brains. I laughed, indeed, I must confess. Doug said to me, “That dog’s insane.” We stood there laughing in the rain The doggy pounced and then regressed, The day that Scruffy broke the chain, Doug said to me, “That dog’s insane.”
