WE (Dog Lovers) WILL ALL GO TOGETHER WHEN WE GO

When we think upon mortality, we are faced with sad reality
That our dogs' lives are much shorter than our own ;
Yet if we should pre-decease them, unto what guardianship release them ?
Thoughts most worthy of a sigh, a tear, a groan.
But don't you worry :
Tho' the Soviet Union's sundered, there are still Bombs by the hundred
Owned by madmen who would use them , this believe,
And if they drop on me and you, they will get our doggies too
So there'll be nobody left behind to grieve !

For we will all go together when we go !
What a comforting fact that is to know!
Ev'ry Kuvaz and Keeshond,
Each Basenji and Bichon,
Bouvier and Spinone Italiano.

And we will all broil together when we broil !
As we heel away off this Mortal Coil :
Leave your clickers and your choke chains
And your ticket to the next Gaines,
For your baits will be cremated 'ere they spoil !

We will all go together when we go !
Your Schutzhund can't protect you from the glow :
When the fallout starts raining ,
It will terminate our training
'Till we meet in that Great Clubhouse Down Below !

You will each go directly to your circle in the Inferno,
Without stopping for a beer or Schnapps or Pernod

And we will all go together when we go,
As we all hear that Great Judge's Whistle blow,
Whether Fahrtenhund or farter,
T.D.X. or non-starter,
We'll be tracking where Elysian grasses grow !

And we will all Sleep, we hope, perchance, to Dream :
The farm-dog and the Champion-Supreme !
When some maniac hits the Button
All our sheep will soon be mutton
And our cows will give out radioactive cream !

You will each go directly to your appropriate Hereafter,
Without excuses , or complaints, or nervous laughter.

There will be no need to neuter or to spay,
As radiation glows the knell of parting day !
Though that cup may taste bitter,
There won't be another litter
To perpetuate mutated DNA !

Yes, we will all go together when we go :
The Pound Puppy and the Best in Show !
There'll be no need of grooming ,
Once the mushroom clouds start blooming,
And we head for where there's never any snow !

( spoken : )    
and for those of you who have other interests in life besides dogs :

And we will all croak together when we croak !
The Right-to-Lifers won't appreciate the joke :
With complete incineration
To contol the population
It won't matter what the Supreme Court has spoke !

And we will all chill together when we chill !
There'll be no need to write your Trust or Will :
Though your assests might grow great,
There'll be none left for Probate
And nothing left to pay the lawyer's bill !

And we will all die together when we die !
We can wave Internal Revenue good-bye :
They can beg for our taxes,
As the radiation waxes,
And we head for that Great Audit in the sky !

And we will all crash together when we crash !
Dust to dust and, likewise, ash to ash :
For, with nuclear fission,
'Lectro-magnetic emission
Will transmute your computer into Trash !

And we will all roast together when we roast !
Our e-mail and our Websites will be toast :
Once the bombs start exploding,
There'll be no one left downloading
Except the Devil and the Holy Ghost !

And we will all cook together when we cook !
As I finally lay me down my shepherd's crook,
With no time for repining,
I percieve one silver lining :
I won't have to read the proofs for this damned book !
