But I Ain't No Dog
If I were a dog
taken ill
all run up to me
Jack, Tom, Harry and Jill
my owner pays the bill
go hurry
take Candy to the Vet
call a cab quickly
but when it's me
they'll say
you can wait
Candy we spent three
thousand dollars
you are now a fuzzy wuzzy
still living old man
wait as you may

People tend to...
feel sorry for the poor, dumb dog who can't talk. They want to show that they are "humane". On the other hand, people are annoying things that cry and whine about how sick they are and in general, create a fuss. Keep your mouth shut, let a tear trickle down your cheek and maybe just whimper a little bit, I think you may get a better response.
The line that goes: "Jack, Jill, Harry and Bill " should be amended to: Jack, Tom, Harry and Jill" the use of Bill kind of makes the [bill] in the following line a little off. ~ Geez.

If lovedly
was reincarnated as a dog, I would most definitely rescue you from the pound, even if lovedly peed on the carpet, but maybe not if you pooped on the bed or something.

pond
I know no swimming
ur LORD will teach me
and best of all ///// I will be the only one ever to return
BUT WHY PRAY ILL /////Haven't I had my share of kicks

To lovedly
I'd really like a fuzzy wuzzy
Reincarnated dog
A fuzzy wuzzy lovely talking
Dog That couldn't swim
A dog that in a former life
The whole world liked to flog
I'd take him to the big canal
And likely throw him in
I'd watch him flop his little feet
And round n round he'd grin
So happy he became a dog
And finely learned to swim
Cheers lovedly!

Lovedly,
Lovedly,
I really enjoy the combination of the theme and the tone you've chosen for this poem. Very sassy. Always a pleasure!
P.s. don't forget about your less active fans
