Why oh why must I be a dog,people just don't understand me?
I give and I give and still they repremand me!
I warn others not to push me to the limit and still they try.
They ignore my snarls,growls and actions and I don't know why.
Then they blame me when I act out in fear.
They try to abolish me to make me disappear.
I am only protecting the only thing that belongs to me why can't they understand?
I only give love,respect and compassion to woman and man.
But,some don't give it back as I gave it to them and instead they mistreat me.
I will refer to the bible and ask "why has thou forsaken thee?"
All I want is to be loved by you and respected by all.
I will come running with all of my might whenever you call.
Just give me shadow of a doubt and I will prove you wrong.
Stop hurting me and pitting me against my own.
Tried and true,hefty and strong.
I wear my heart on my paws all day long.
I defend my owner as I defend my bone.
I have the perfect grip and the correct stance.
If you cross me up I will make you dance.
I love people to death but,I take no stuff.
I can get as mean as the troll in billy goat's gruff.
I am the american pit bull terrier and my name is superior.
My temper is obvious and my attitude is inferior.
I am a better breed than my opponents.
Just for the simple fact that I am of top notch components.
Take a look at my house I have made it my own.
Buried deep in the sand as if I was burying a bone.
Give me a chance to bury my head in your lap and fall asleep.
I promise you will have no regrets and your heart I shall keep.
I will make you love me I have no doubt.
I will grab a hold of your soul and there will be no way out.
shoes all dirty,dog crap plastered on the bottom.
dusty hands wiping sweat away turning it into mud.
flies swarming,and puppies nipping at your feet.
sounds of howling and snarling as you fix them something to eat.
burning scratches sometimes leaving traces of blood,
at times your in the wood yelling "boys we got'em".
filling up food pans and emptying buckets of water.
raking up up maneuer and bleaching kennels down.
spraying off flies,fleas and ticks too,
coming back in the house smelling as they do.
feet aching badly from hours on the mortar.
hands sticking together from moisturizing shampoo.
all of this entails the care of a pit.
it's very challenging but,definately worth it.
the reward you get from all of the praise.
makes them seem effortless for you to raise.
we are definately down in the pits for it's just our thing.
for these special creatures bring the same amount of love that our kids bring.
