Bulldog Blues

I’m a bulldog prince in a velvet cage, 
Fed clean little miracles twice a day. 
They soap my hide in some Paris foam, 
But I miss the stink of the streets I know. 

I get my walk on a borrowed leash, 
They call it freedom, but it’s bought and brief. 
Got a gold tag and a polished bowl, 
But this gilded life’s got a stranglehold. 

They rub my belly, say, “Boy, you live well,” 
But I’m doing hard time in a five-star hell. 
I’d trade this satin for a junkyard smell, 
They groom me like a king, but life’s pure hell.
